Chinese ref attones for poor timekeeping, sort of.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Picks up points for honesty and loses some for stupidity. Ref calls for 3 minutes time added on, plays two minutes then blows final whistle. Players start shaking hands leaving the pitch while the crowd berates the ref. Ref realizes error then calls the players back and gives them another minute. From the Chinese Super league.

This ref's apparently been suspended.

Something worse than this happened in La Liga last season where the ref inexplicably blew the whistle before the 45 minutes of the first-half had expired. The clock was at something like 44:23 and he blew for halftime! lol

Again the ref realized the error and play eventually resumed. Although after play resumed a player picked-up a serious injury (it might have been Luis Fabiano but I'm not sure) which only highlighted the ref's error.
