Goodness I remember that Bolton game. My son who was then 15, went absolutely spare when Bolton scored, partly/mostly because he was being heavily outumbered by Bolton fans in his class/school. Never heard him swear so much before or since.99% of the time you're right but anything can happen in football and we must take our chances.
I remember when we played Bolton at home in 2005 and we hit the woodwork 5 times and Bolton hardly had a sniff on goal. We were rampant all game but couldn't hit the net. Dunne handballed giving them a pen in the dying minutes and it ended 0-1.
"Funny old game", as Greavesy once said.
Me too pal and a good reminder that we cannot take our opposition for granted. Cheltenham being the most recent example of a banana skin we could have tripped up on. But that game against Bolton is etched in my memory. I can't remember any other game that we were as dominant and ended up losing the game. I came out of the stadium shaking my head in total disbelief.Goodness I remember that Bolton game.

Awful memories but such an exciting game Bill. And Dunny monster made quite a lot of costly howlers, still loved him though. Not too many teams could fall in a rosebed and come out stinking of shite, but we could and did regularly for many years, hence being tagged with 'Typical City'.Thanks for posting - but it brought back awful memories. Never seen anything like it before it since. How on earth we lost that game I will never know. I remember thinking at the time that only Dunninho would give away a pen like that in the final moments of the game. Either that or an own goal, of course.
Wasn't there a similar story involving sun jihai and Middlesbrough?Goodness I remember that Bolton game.
