James Gang Robbed Us Not Ref Says Gary

Bolton 0 Portsmouth 1

BOLTON boss Gary Megson refused to blame the officials after Lassana Diarra's offside goal allowed Pompey to snatch victory.

The Frenchman scored a disputed 80th-minute winner but Megson said: "I'm not one of those who starts moaning at referees - they just got it wrong, that's all."

The Trotters dominated but were often denied by the Portsmouth keeper and Megson said: "I think you can explain the defeat in two words - David James."
