Eleven Wonders coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu doubts referee Charles Bulu’s competence

Eleven Wonders coach, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, has questioned the competence of FIFA referee Charles Bulu, who officiated in his team’s 2-1 loss to Elmina Sharks on match-day 29 of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League on Friday afternoon.

An early first-half brace from Bernard Benjamin Boateng ensured that the home side secured the maximum three points with Ganiu Abass scoring the consolation.

The high points of the game happened when the visitors had two clear goals disallowed.

Veteran Alex Asamoah tapped in from Felix Akolor’s cross on the 37th minute but was ruled out by the assistant referee one for offside.

Then in the second half, Ganiu Abass nearly netted a brace too after his shot outside the box went off the crossbar with the whole circumference of the ball crossing the goal line but again wasn’t given.

 Television replays show the ball crossed the line.

And those decisions by the referee have elicited a bitter reaction from the outspoken gaffer who indicated that, they lost not based on performance but incompetence on the part of the referees.

He said; 

“I don’t think we lost. Everybody that watched the game knows out first goal was a clear one and should have stood, again we scored another clear goal in the second half but was not given.

“We didn’t loose because we weren’t good but we lost due to incompetence, for me we have beaten them 2-3. The centre-man is a FIFA referee and wasn’t at the right place on most occasions in a tough gave me like this. He should be ashamed of himself.”

Techiman Eleven Wonders will next play against Dreams FC in Dawu.
