The New Zealand referee drew widespread criticism after disallowing an Edin Dzeko strike after 21 minutes. Eight minutes later, Peter Osaze Odemwingie fired the Super Eagle's in front, but Emmanuel Emenike appeared to clip the heels of Emir Spahic in the build up. That went unpunished and the appearance of the picture has prompted a Bosnia fan to send a petition to FIFA asking for the removal of O'Leary and the match result be changed to 1-1.
In the aftermath of the game, Manchester City strike, Dzeko said O'Leary's performance was "shameful"
When 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.
Stephen Keshi speaks about the victory!!!!
Bosnia were eliminated from the tournament as they needed at least a draw....
What do you think of this latest development? Are the Bosnia team and fans being sore losers? Let us hear from you!
