Is this a drop kick?

[KenyaQuin]

Would you classify this as a drop kick? Is it the intent or the action that determines whether it is a drop kick or not, or in this case, would the initial fumble rule it a knock-on?

nah he definatley lost control of it, you can clearly see it slip from his hands, which is why it fell akwardly onto his shin. he just covered it well.
good call by the ref

i remember that, he dropped it so its a knock on. good call.

Knock on without doubt!!

[Stone Cold]

yeah...they didnt let me get away with it when i was playing either

(mind you that was social league and the refs were pretty ordinary to say the least)

Don't need to add to this, Ecky will be able to quote chapter and verse to you, but he lost control and the ball hit the ground, everything after that is secondary!

Yes, he will be able to quote chapter and verse, but he chooses not to.

'sall been said & done. A fly-kick, or hack in mid-air after the player has lost control of it maketh not it a drop kick. Or any other type of kick.
