This seems to be a slight misunderstanding. The original formulation 
"throw-in" was not completely correct.
We are not talking about the goalie doing a "throw-in" after the ball 
has been out of bounds, but rather the goalie picking the ball up and 
throwing it from inside it's own penalty area.
I could not find any FIFA rule that gives any specifics about this 
situation, as this is neither a "throw-in" nor a "goal-kick".
I would think it is closer to a "goalkeeper punt" ("Abschlag" in 
German), but this is also not specified in the FIFA rules.
Also I looked at the Futsal rules, which seems to be the official FIFA 
indoor soccer, but found nothing to clarify this issue.

So, as there are no FIFA rules about this, I think we should decide upon 
one specifically for RoboCup...

Cheers
