Q19 Answer: Player (A) takes a throw-in. The ball enters the field of play and is directly blown out again by the wind. The Referee blows his whistle to indicate the end of the first half. Player (A) takes the kick off at the start of the second half, thus touching the ball a second time from a throw-in before it has touched another player!

Q19 Alternative Answer: Player (A) takes the throw-in, and after the ball has entered the field of play (and before it has been touched by another player) it bursts or is interfered with by an outside agent (for example a dog). The Referee stops play, replaces the ball, and awards a dropped ball to restart play. Player (A) wins the ball, thus touching it before it has been touched by another player.
