The Rules of Gaelic Football - EXPLAINED!

Yea never mind I'll stick to the way more simpler game of football

Can you dribble the ball with your feet on the floor like football? and is there corners?

Interesting that there are goalkeepers in this bearing in mind everyone can handle the ball anyway...

This is what association footbal should've been it's much more entertaining.

This helped me a lot THANK YOU 😊

Fascinating

Question: You can't kick over the crossbar on a penalty,can you?

nice explanation !!! thanks !!!

wow this sport looks pretty cool

Great video

Can I just say I LOVE YOU for including the song titles at the end? Irish music is awesome. Also, this sport looks super cool.

Cool! Seems more exciting then regular soccer, er, football.

I play football and in Cavan football is so popular. I'm also getting county trials. Also, nice video!

up dromintee

Being an ex gaelic footballer and now currently living in the UK it's soo hard to explain but now I've got this video I can take a back seat and this video to my friends instead of explaining lol

Apparently this was the inspiration for modern rugby (i.e. running with the ball). I heard that the one who invented the running aspect's padre was a soldier stationed in Limerick or somewhere, and saw Gaelic Football being played.

I am an American I want to play 😩

35mins halves.*

why is everybody walking more than 4 steps without soloing?

Great introduction video but a few inaccuracies and/or elements need updating!
1. Goals may scored by a player kicking or 'fisting' a ball to the net. In the latter case, the player may not take the ball into their possession i.e. placing both hands on the ball, but may 'fist' the ball while it is in flight or if they have fallen to the ground while in possession.
2. 'Club' games are 60 minutes long but 'inter-county' (representative level, as shown in the video) games are 70 minutes long.
3. 'Penalty kicks are no longer taken from the 13 meter line but from a 'penalty' spot 11 meters from the goal line.
4. If the defending team is last to touch a ball which then goes over their own end line, a free kick from the 45m line is awarded to the opposition. If an attacking teams plays the ball over the opposition end line a kick out is taken from the ground at the 13m line.
5. Fouls are divided into
- 'Technical' fouls - the first 7 in the graphic are such, however there are 34 in total - sanction for these is just a 'free kick'
- ' Aggressive' fouls of which two are included in the graphic but there are 35 in total - when a 'free kick' is awarded and either
a yellow, black or red card is issued if the referee deems the foul to be deliberate (if deemed accidental, then only a 'free kick')
