Does it mean to send something into a particular place?

 

[emsr2d2]

It only means "send" in terms of moving something physically from one place to another in a specific way that classes as "bundling" it. It's not like when you "send" an email.

To 'bundle the ball' into the goal has a particular meaning in football. You have to look at the word in context. A dictionary won't help very much with that.

But Wiktionary has a definiton of "bundle" to mean to send something into a particular place. So "to bundle the ball" would mean to send the ball.

 

[emsr2d2]

But Wiktionary has gives a definition of "bundle" to mean as "to send something into a particular place" no full stop here so "to bundle the ball" would mean "to send the ball".

In a way, you're right, but you need to understand that when someone "bundles" a ball, it means they move it in a particular way, specifically "hastily" or "clumsily", as shown in post #1. The problem with your keep using "send" in this thread is that in football, we don't say that anyone sends a ball anywhere. Of the various verbs used in the definition in post #1, the closest to the context about Chelsea v Bolton is "push".
