Sometimes we see "chippy" play and we tighten up the game and we can keep things from escalating.
However sometimes things happen quickly and without warning and we're left to deal with the consequences.
We're officiating games for children, older ones perhaps, but still children with varying levels of emotional maturity and some with issues we never know about when we step on the floor. We can't always anticipate their actions.
While I can understand the reflection and the sleepless night I don't think you can blame yourself and I certainly don't believe what you were once told regarding that if there is a fight you missed something.
