The advantages gave by the referee were excellent, he made a very correct decision and let the ball being played by the players as much as possible. As taught by Wong Kin Wah when I was green, a good referee should be appearanced while the players want the justice.
On the movement of the referee, he always let the ball goes first and the movement in repsect of it then. Compare with local football, it is my impression that technical challeneges are more awarded by Professional players. Therefore, it allowed the referee to let the game to play as smooth as possible. The professionalism of the players also reflected from their respect on referee's decisions while sometimes referee can explain the decision in claim manner.
The use of radio communication system can let the referees made the decision in suit as I saw the referee would make use of it by calling his decision to the Assistant Referee to follow while making some far away decisions. Also, the tackle made the Liverpool player at the first half might be announced by the First Assistant Referee as well.
The Assistant Referees were full concentration during the match. They both applied the Off-Side Law very much. With the assist of elcectronic flag, the referee had no chance to missing any single or making incorrect decisions. This is the good example of teamwork.
On the fourth official, I agree with Ahsir's point .
Although the English team shown above advantages to us. But the match conducted by Hong Kong Team was good as well. Well Done, Hong Kong Referee Team.
