Bosnian fans want Fifa to change the result of their game against Nigeria.An online petition to have the referee that officiated the "Nigeria vs Bosnia match" on Saturday has been signed by 20, 000 people. The petition to FIFA was started by a Bosnia fan, after an image of referee Peter O’Leary appeared showing him ‘celebrating’ with the Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.
The New Zealand referee was widely criticized by the Bosnia team
for disallowing an Edin Dzeko strike 21 minutes into the game. Eight minutes later Osaze Odemwingie scored the only goal in the match. During the build up to Odemwingie’s goal, Emmanuel Emenike also appeared to “clip the heels” of Emir Spahic, this allegedly went unnoticed by the referee. which went unnoticed by the referee.
This and the appearance of the picture has prompted a Bosnian fan to send a petition to Fifa asking for the removal of O’Leary and the match to be changed to 1-1.
When Bosnian striker Dzeko was asked what happened in the game he said: “The referee happened. We are going home, we are sad because of that, but the referee should go home too, because he changed the result, he changed the game, and that’s why we lost. We tried to come back after the goal where there was obviously a foul on our captain and before when I scored a goal it was not offside. Nigeria played good as well, but the referee was shameful for this competition.”
But i laugh at the hypocrisy in football and this time at Dzeko's in particular,he clearly handled the ball when he fired a shot at the Nigerian goal which Enyeama pushed to the post in the last minute.If that ball had scored it would have counted and i bet you Dzeko and the Bosnia fans would not be complaining.Nigeria scored a good goal against Iran that was disallowed,so they should take a chilled pill and come back in 4 years..i am sure Dzeko as a striker has scored many off side goals in his career .But Nice Bosnian fans.
