Petition Calls for Sack Nigeria/Bosnia Referee

After the recent conspiracy allegations made by fans regarding the Nigeria/Bosnia game in which Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko goal was ruled offside.

Manchester City striker Dzeko had scored by the 20th minute mark and his goal was ruled offside by the refree Peter O' Leary.

Fans however have taken to change.org website to demand the immediate removal of New Zealand born refree from further participation in the event.

The petition read: "Most of the people that watched Bosnia-Herzegovina saw the goal scored by Edin Dzeko in the 20' minute. The goal was denied because of the referee's command and Bosnia-Herzegovina lost 1:0 vs Nigeria.

The goal scored by Nigeria should be denied as well, as the assistant signaled that Emenike made a foul, but the referee refused to acknowledge the foul.

What we want: Most of the people who watched the match want the referee to be removed and the scoreline to be changed to 1:1 because the (Dzeko's) goal was denied.

FIFA should also try to hire professional referees for the 2014 World Cup. Over 1 billion viewers saw that Edin Dzeko's goal in the 20' minute was denied. We hope FIFA will change some details and change result as well."

The petition also accused the Nigerian players of using drugs saying: "We want to check Nigerian players, because they might be under dopes (sic) and illegal resources for the match, so we need this for proof."

The petition site displays this photo as suspicion of a 'liaison' between the Nigerian team and the referee:
