The Ref Stop

I saw it but didn’t call it…what would you do???

You can only give what you see, especially in a penalty/dismissal situation in a tight match.
If unsure, and with no signal from your AR/no claim from the attacking team, playing on would have been the best approach.
Giving yourself a second or two of thinking time would have allowed you to consider "No claims, no flag, I'm unsure"
and carry on.

So, corner or goal kick then?
 
The Ref Stop
When the ball was punched out it ended up with the attacking team who reset the offense. At this point I blew the whistle, talked to the AR, then played a drop ball.
 
I think if it went out the AR would have pointed for an offensive throw as he thought it was a keeper punch. I don’t think I could have called a corner any more than I could have called the hand hall.
