Blew for full time 10 minutes early in my match yest, 35 minutes each way.
Did wonder why every other pitch was still playing, and I was getting some bemused looks.
Until I was told what I'd done.
It transpired I'd added 25 minutes onto the start of the second half rather than 35,in my head. And the kids had been asking how long left, with what I thought was a few minutes, so I put 2+2 and got 14.
At that point I think it was 7-0, I asked both teams if they wanted to finish as they'd both made their way off the pitch, the game was re-kicked off, and it finished 9-1.
Even worse, had someone from the local FA there to watch some of the games, and I know he was paying attention to mine.
I explained what had happened, and he said don't worry, worse things have happened, he commented on how I'd controlled the game well, and I know full well I won't be making that mistake again.
Soo...
Anyone got any tales of their own carelessness or stupidity?
