Burnley v Stoke last night; Charlie Adam slipping whilst taking a corner, he then hits the ball with his knee, and handles the ball to put it back in the quadrant to retake.
Officials signal for a defensive free kick, assuming ball is in play and then hand ball. Looks as though they had a bit of discussion for a second or two to determine what should happen.
For me, the ball is not in play as it has not been kicked, as per the laws. Should have been a retake in my opinion.
Thoughts?
