Level 6 Referee
Keeper got the ball in his hands walking ball slipped from his hand but less than 1 second he pick it up I’m not sure if ball touch the ground or his feet or didn’t touch anything att all. Everyone went crazy and asked for free kick for me I didnt considered it as release and didn’t charge the keeper any thoughts about this please( this was a man’s game)

Clearly the laws did not intend for release to include when the keeper loses control of it accidentally. In fact for me the word release implies intent in the way it is used.
