Gaelic football is an Irish team sport. It is played between two teams of 15 players on a rectangular grass pitch. The objective of the sport is to score by kicking or punching the ball into the other team's goals (3 points) or between two upright posts above the goals and over a crossbar 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) above the ground (1 point).

Players advance the football, a spherical leather ball, up the field with a combination of carrying, bouncing, kicking, hand-passing, and soloing (dropping the ball and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands). In the game, two types of scores are possible: points and goals. A point is awarded for kicking or hand-passing the ball over the crossbar, signalled by the umpire raising a white flag. A goal is awarded for kicking the ball under the crossbar into the net, signalled by the umpire raising a green flag. Positions in Gaelic football are similar to that in other football codes, and comprise one goalkeeper, six backs, two midfielders, and six forwards, with a variable number of substitutes.

I feel like the players should also have tennis rackets.

So why dribble the ball if you can just carry? And can they tackle the players too? Need footage of reg play

 

[roguejuror]

they can't just carry the ball all the time, they must bounce it every 4 steps or so

tackles must be aimed at the ball and not the player, there can be contact but nothing like rugby or american football, more similar to soccer

RJ, stop with that propaganda! It might be spelled Gaelic but pronounce it and you get Gaylick!* My mind might be confused to what it is but not confused in knowing I'm not watching! Look at those short shorts, no doubt this is some kind of LBGT attraction. And I don't see any predominance of a home team color in the stands! Just a rainbow of colors! And ain't no confusion bout what that means!

I hear Toronto FC is having a historically good year this year. I'd rather watch Gaelic football.
