How can a few crucial minutes in a football match change the life of an entire family? How do the “men in black” feel when they are attacked by supporters? Kill the Referee unveils the lives of several professional football referees at the EURO 2008 championship; amongst them, the English referee Howard Webb, who provoked incredible controversy when he gave a penalty to Austria just before the end of the match with Poland, and the Italian Roberto Rosetti, who refereed the final. —IMDb

By far the most interesting and suspenseful parts of the documentary take place on the field, where we hear the comments of the referees and linesmen over their headsets. It's football in a way you've never seen before, with three men frantically trying to direct the action of 22 tatooed madmen in the great pressure cooker of a roaring stadium. http://www.brnrd.net/blog/archive/2010/07/09/kill-the-referee
