If you are on the ground and drag it in, then it is on you to also get it out. If you dont then its a free kick. You are free to pick it up but the onus is on you to get it out afterwards.He's tried to gather the ball then to stand up (see middle right image left leg trying to push up). Is he not allowed to pick the ball up when it's in dispute if he's on the ground?
On the flip side, you see this many times each game not get paid.
