Shrewsbury boss Sam Ricketts criticised the officials after the Sky Bet League One club suffered FA Cup heartbreak against Wolves.
Matt Doherty struck in added time as the Premier League side came back from 2-0 down to salvage a 2-2 draw and a fourth-round replay.
Greg Docherty and Luke Waterfall put the hosts in control only for Raul Jimenez to give Wolves a lifeline.
But Ricketts was unhappy six minutes of stoppage time was added after ball boys were moved from a corner where rival fans had begun to throw missiles at each other following Waterfall's goal.
He said: "Six minutes of injury time - I am not sure where that came from. I am getting told the ball boys disappeared. They didn't disappear, they were still on the side of the pitch.
"Admittedly they weren't in the corner where all the police were between the fans. But I wouldn't leave an eight-year-old in the corner with 100 police and fans fighting amongst themselves.
"That disappoints me more than anything. Six minutes was an awful long time and unfortunately we couldn't quite hang on in the end.
"I was surprised to see six minutes. I have been in football a long time and it never felt like a six minutes of injury time. I don't think either physio went on. But I can't be disappointed with the performance."
