The FA rule below does include a hand and the ground so it's a 'debatable' decision. Would Schmiechel have lost control of the ball if nobody challenged it? I don't think so as he had his hand on the top of ball so right decision I suppose.Haway you canāt rule that out

Does one hand on the ball count as under control these days?
Aye but what would Peter Walton have thought?John Walton wouldve agreed with Oliver had it been on BT

Yip it's still harsh but can see why they've come to that decision.Looks like that's the rule, there's not really much the ref can do about that. The fact he was told to go over that quickly and then he only needed one or two looks at it suggest it is the rule.
Goads sake donāt get him startedGreat dEcision @Cridge
Thereās loads of them, give him the benefit of the doubt.Aye but what would Peter Walton have thought?
It's not a goal if the above is correctThe FA rule below does include a hand and the ground so it's a 'debatable' decision. Would Schmiechel have lost control of the ball if nobody challenged it? I don't think so as he had his hand on the top of ball so right decision I suppose.
A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when: the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save.
