Quote: That makes no sense at all...any foul that would result in a direct kick inside the penalty box is a PK. Kicking from inside the penalty box as you described should only done on a foul resulting in an INdirect kick.
I know the rules and agree with you. The BR kids were in shock due to the "playing the ball with your face while on the ground." The CC "shooter" was told it was a direct kick and she could score. Then the BR team was allowed to quickly line up.
You surely aren't going to tell me, that even though the rules are in writing, and after 36 years of soccer, fairly understandable, that none of you have ever seen a strange, wierd, and even incorrect call or procedure after a card or ruling? Is it possible that a human in charge of things could just do something incorrect? If you are a coach, your answer is abviously that you have seen it a million times. If you are a ref, your answer is that this could never happen.
