I was a keeper and I like to think that I protect the keeper as much as the next referee. I have given the foul on a one finger and the ground trap before. That being said, I don't think you have any basis here for an opinion that the keeper had possession and if I was assessing the game, I would mark you down on foul recognition if you disallowed the goal.
