The forward complained that some bad officiating, especially the match officials’ handling of their Week 23 league tie against Kano Pillars which they lost 3-2, was just one of the several cases of calls that have gone against his club in the current campaign.
Osaguona however charged the League Management Company (LMC) to ensure that they keep close tab on the remaining league matches of the season and sanction erring match officials that are bent on dragging the image of the country in the mud due to their poor handling of league games.
“I am not a happy man as I talk to you now. We are not doing very well on the league table because of no fault of ours. The match officials have ruined some of our league outings and we have been helpless judging by the level of bad officiating that have marred our away fixtures especially,” Osaguona told Goal.
“We didn’t deserve to lose against Kano Pillars and in some key away fixtures where results have gone against us.
“We deserve something better and I am appealing to the LMC and others that are concerned to ensure that we get a good league that will attract good investors,” he said.
Osaguona’s 13 goals have all come from open play so far. His impressive form has earned him call up to the Super Eagles as they prepare to face the Red Devils and Bafana Bafana on September 6 and 10 as part of qualification for Morocco 2015. (goal.com)[eap_ad_3]
