RE: Adult

can the ball be thrown into the opposiition goal by the keeper once he picks it up in his penalty area

I don't know, how good of an arm does he have?

If you are asking if that would be a goal, yes it would be.

Ammar, I don't think it can. I would have suspended the match well before it got that windy. However, it is a goal if this happens.

This is perfectly legal if the keeper is capable

Yes. It would count as a goal.
