In yesterday's game I think I made bad call:
In open midfield play, blue kicked the ball it was caught by green then Kicked back....many players were off sides and/or retreating (nothing material yet). Blue #9 catches green's kick and then attempts to kick back down field punting the ball right into a blue teammate's backside (who was 2-3 meters in front of the kicker and running backward). It bounces back towards blue #9 and he goes to ground to gather it. I whistled and awarded a green scrum where player was hit in the back for Accidental off-sides.
Should green have had the option of a scrum where Blue 9 kicked or PK where his teammate was hit with ball?
Is it no accident and it's just off-sides?
What's the right call?
