At an '09 (7v7) game this weekend, defender takes a goal kick. Instead of playing the ball wide to an outside defender, he played it forward, up the field. The opposing team's attacking player at the build out line, collected the ball and started to dribble towards the goal with a very good opportunity to shoot and possibly score.
Ref stopped the play and had the kick retaken. I didn't understand the retake, so I asked the ref about it after the game. He said it was a "punt" and punts are not allowed at 09. I said it wasn't a punt, it was a goal kick. He said that goal kicks are punts.
Never heard that before from anyone, anywhere. Has anyone else?
