Junior/Youth Unsure about a call I made

They play 30 minutes each way here - I was stopping it for every goal, every foul, every throw in etc. In my most recent game, my timekeeping was spot on, in my opinion! I'll only make a mistake once... well, once a season anyway!

Oh ok fair enough If I were to ever start playing more than five minutes (which I usually wouldn't anyway) I think I would get shouted at! Let alone 20 minutes I generally tend to not add any time at all unless there has been a specific lengthy injury/other delay. That way I cover my own backside and avoid problems such as equalisers in the 5th minute of added time that would cause mayhem.

Yeah, that was a thing to happen only once! First game ever and whatnot. I got shouted at after 5 minutes - thankfully only 1 goal went in during that time, it didn't influence the rest of the game anyway!
