This is just a small question from a recent game and one that caused no incident, but i'd like to know the correct approach.
Scenario: Goalkeeper takes goal kick from his hands, as players challenge for headers in middle of pitch I spot some gloves on the pitch. I blow my whistle and then remove the gloves from the pitch. I restart by dropping the ball to the keeper in his area as when I'd blown the whistle the ball was still in the air and thus the last possession was with the keeper.
Was this the correct restart or should I have approached this differently?
I hope that makes sense?
I've only refereed 10 games so far so haven't encountered minor things like this before.
