Oh my, I did not see this coming..Over 20,000 people have signed an online petition requesting for the removal of Peter O’Leary from the World Cup after the referee was spotted celebrating with Enyeama after the match.
There have been negative comments about the referee, peter o'leary's harsh cancellation of Edin djeko's goal in the first half.The petition has since been launched to try and get the game cancelled and the fixture played again.
Read the petition put up on change This is one headline we didn’t see coming.
According to the independent UK , the New Zealand referee drew widespread criticism after wrongly disallowing an Edin Dzeko strike after 21 minutes.
Emmanuel Emenike also appeared to “clip the heels” of Emir Spahic which went unnoticed by the referee.
As a result of all these, a Bosnian fan has sent the petition to FIFA, asking for O’Leary’s removal. Dzeko who spoke to reporters describes the referee as “shameful”.
“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.” said the Manchester City striker.
