Spetactor replaces official refree giving three penalties. No onecomplains

The incredible fact happend during an amateur match in the last weekend in the Italian small city of Narni Scalo in Umbria. The official refree failed to show for the match so a spetactor decided to ask to replace him.

During the game the refree gave three penalties and no big complains came from the crowd watching the game.

The spectator was a member of the federation of refrees of Umbria but the other spectators didn't know that and they were a way more polite than in situation where they know the refree comes from the federation.

iPhone Nike application for football training

From Mobile-Entertainment

Nike has launched a new iPhone app targeting footy fans - or at least those who want to get off their sofas and develop their skills.

Nike Football+ Presents: Master Control is its slightly cumbersome title, and it's free to download from the App Store.

The application offers a four-week skills training programme designed by coaches from FC Barcelona, complete with videos. Stars included in the app are Pep Guardiola, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal fans may wonder why their captain is appearing in a Barca-dominated iPhone app. Perhaps Nike really does have an inside line to future transfers...

The application also includes a Fabregas-branded Challenge, which lets users benchmark their skills and post scores to a global leaderboard.
