What is Gaelic Football? (part 2 of 3)

[Reggie3638]

AFL rules

[Vhintaqe]

@redsportt lol you probably prefer shopping like nearly every soccer player

[redsportt]

THIS IS KNOWN AS BOGBALL ACTUALLY! GAY AS FUCK

[gerrygadrumsee]

Gealic is the best mix of speed skill and strength faster than most other sports and supriseinly hard hitting and by the way its not a mix of rugby or soccer its older than both of these sports

[kingmiller11]

american football is a load of shite with all them pads rugby players wear a bit of tape round thier ears so no one bites them its a more exciting sport no pads heavier tackles and a lot more aggresive thats way its better

[indetub]

they did their best to destroy soccer and replace it with bogball and succeeded

[DAJAZDJ1]

I AM FROM YORKSHIRE UK BUT I BEEN TO ROSCOMMON IN IRELAND TO PLAY GAELIC WHEN I WAS YOUNGER MY GRANDPARENTS ARE IRISH AND ALL MY UNCLES PLAY THIS A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY COULD OF MADE IT IN GAA IF THEY LIVED IN IRELAND 1 OF THEM WAS A PRO FOOTBALLER WITH HUDDERSFIELD TOWN AND TRANMERE THEN SEMI PRO WITH ALTRINCHAM BUT A VERY GOOD GAELIC PLAYER THERE TEAM HERE WINS NEARLY EVERYTHING

[aod123100]

@DAJAZDJ1 Gaelic is an amateur sport even at the highest level

[DAJAZDJ1]

@aod123100 i know i played since i was little and i know none of the players are pro's in the gaa

[avanpeltno2fan]

I think this is a great piece of Irish culture, but when you get into counting steps like some crazy OCD that's where you lose me. Plus, can somebody explain why you just wouldn't kick it through the uprights every chance you get.

[MrBlatherblather]

@avanpeltno2fan Because over the bar counts as 1 point, while trying for a shot into the actual goal is worth 3. You'll see a lot more kicks over the bar than into the goals because it is easier.

[araregoodguy]

well i say england but my family are descendent from Irelend

[araregoodguy]

couldn't a really good goalkeeper be a successful footballer, like the transiiton players make from league to union, not that you would want to I guess its your game, I only just seen it as I am English and they don't show it in England at all.

[riseingstur]

UP THE IRA , and GAA. BRITS OUT, no foreign games in Croke Park. Fight to keep Footall and Rugby out of our Catholic schools. If we dnt the bastrds will have every Catholic child playing foreign games. We must never ever allow PROTESTANT to play or belong to the GAA . Our GAA and it games must always be for the Catholic Irish . UP THE IRA .

[TheSickgood]

@riseingstur your well entitled to your opinions and im as hor a united ireland as much as anyone but please can we leave the politics out of our sport? just saying like i play hurling with and against protestants and indeed include them in my close family. lets keep the gaa clean tho. thanks

[niallronaldino]

COOL

[beyonce717]

class=]

[8honesty8]

Ok im irish im a big fan of gaelic actuali its my lifee im a teenage girl and even though im a girl im on love with gaelic its a fun sport of course but its nt a game u play fr the crk i play gaelic frm the heart if we win we win if we lose we fite to win the next tym and i also hatee wen people make fun of irish ? So stop and Wise Up

[riseingstur]

I hate it when Protestant black orange bastards come om to our Irish Catholic videos on You Tube and mock and laugh about our GAA games of Gaelic and Hurling. What up with these settler black orange bastards. I could not give one fuck if not one Protestant in Ireland ever plays our games , in fact in the five GAA clubs nearest to whee I live not one filthy settler Protestant bastard has belonged or played in over 70 years and more. Long may it last . The GAA for the Irish Catholics only.

[corsellus]

@riseingstur there are plenty of protestants playing gaelic games. hundreds, maybe thousands. although the GAA do very little to encourage it. diversity is a good thing in sport.

[J1newyorkcity08]

this is hillbrow, he is a prodestant, so anything he says is not an irish persons views but a twisted bigoted prodestant trying to push his views on other people

[Sanbev]

Looks very fun.Wish i could of learned how to play this at a young age.

[Semir313]

Never heard of gealic football...So its like soccer but u can use your hands ?...and if u guys call this football does that mean Ireland just like U.S and Canada calls soccer soccer also lol

[weeDaire]

im from ireland and we dont call it bog ball u tube ok

i play both sports and hurlings more skillfull

gaelic is better

[MotorboatenMcL]

who cares wat people fuken play, just play ur own sport damn

[cioupty]

gaelic football is shit! Hurling is a far superior sport, we call gaelic football , bogball here in Ireland...oh and cmon the chels!!

[neilhosey]

bogball?? lol no one calls it bog ball, except except a few british bigots on youtube.

hurling is better though.

[Quinno77]

thats rubbish,you cant speak for everybody!!hurling is more skillfull,gaelic is way more popular than hurling!

[weeDaire]

no we dont call it bog ball u twat get it right most irish call it gaelic

unless ure a british bigot as neil says

[cioupty]

you obviously dont/cant read my previous message in full, you fucking clown! as in ''here in ireland''...with a name like 'weedaire', I would hazard a guess that you hail from that little insular part of the country that we call 'norn iron'...

[cioupty]

now fuck off and dont be annoying me with your wretched bogball...

[weeDaire]

sorry wat was that u saiid u quer

facts are facts ure talkin shit now piss of u english bigot

[SkateFallenOrAdio]

now you shut the hell up please and you do not call it that your probaly from killkenny well gues what i go to kerry every year i have a mom from ireland and they do not call it that

[cioupty]

LOL! dont take it to heart kid, I see you are only 16 yrs old and from America...actually Im from co Limerick,which is on the way to co Kerry! I admit Im a hurling snob..my own club, ADARE, who I am fiercely proud of, are attempting to win a 1st ever 3 in a ow of Limerick senior hurling titles this year..wish us luck!!!

[SkateFallenOrAdio]

lol sure iam 14 actualy but i know gaelic football and congrats maybe thats why you like hurling your inter county team is good. and jsut cause iam from america dosent mean i dont know football i went to the kerry cork game last year the semi final draw.and maybe they call it bogball were you lvie in adare but in Kerry its more like a passion

[cioupty]

yes it is a passion in kerry, they are thru to another final now..also Im afraid our inter county hurling team, Limerick, are poor enough unfortunately..

[SkateFallenOrAdio]

well atleast we both support our counties and the gaa program

[farhannius]

the net BULGES. lol

[milliams09]

i love the g.a.a sports as im from ireland...i play them both. but i wud hate if it turned pro like soccer. because in soccer...alot of the players only play for money...were as here there is no money involved. its just down to dedication and commitement

[spikeyapples]

well, you see, that's why Gaelic football isn't a world sport quite yet: no professionalism, no money involved..too much moral principles is sometimes bad:) i form once wish GF was as popular as soccer or at least baseball, it'd be great to have such a diversity in the world sports department. GF is a really entertaining game, unlike soccer it's fierce action all the time; too bad the world is largely oblivious to this sport

[warriorprince1010]

Millions of people play football and get no money. They start in the lower divisions. Just because people get money does not mean they always had money. Robbie Keane was not born rich, he started at the bottom.

[redman2037]

American Football = Fag ???

I played rugby and american football (I am a German) and I can tell you that both sport are really tough ! Trust me...

[spikeyapples]

i heard though that the trauma levels in soccer are higher; probably cause there's no protective gear..so in a way it's a 'tougher' sport

[ScaccaBorghezioInter]

This is the second best sport in the world! 1 Soccer, 2 gaelic football, 3 rugby

[greenwhitenorange]

you cant bounce the ball twice in a row but can solo as much as u want

[tnony]

are you free to bounce as many times on a solo run, or do you have to alternate between a bounce and a self-kick? In America, many players might feel more comfortable just bouncing (from basketball experience).

[JoeJoeSkerries]

No , Every you can alternate between bounces and solos or just do solos

Alot of people just do solos though as on lower quality muddy pitches the ball sometimes doesn't come back up from a bounce(especially in the rain, which is often enough over here)

[spud1234567891011]

ya well we arnt in fukin america are we were in ireland dik head

[eppi92]

YouTube is in Ireland?

say w00t?

[aeiou12aeiou12]

ya it is

[tnony]

pardon me for trying to expand your game to other parts of the world. god forbid that anything irish become popular outside of ireland,

[SB20Champions]

hey slow down . no reason to be calling each other names. im from the u.s. but i love gaelic football and hurling. but that doesnt mean that i dont love my own country's sports(baseball, basketball, and football). those are my favorite sports so spud1234567891011 dont get ticked off, that guy just asked a little question and don't put the adjective f--- before America, we don't cut down Ireland with that sort of lanuage

[turdburglar123]

HAHAHA SB20Champions, baseball's English you tittyboob.

[SB20Champions]

yeah, but if they play it in england, its not heard about throughout the world. now the MLB is heard throughout the world. maybe not in europe, but many other countries.

[warriorprince1010]

Football is also known as soccer. Gaelic football is a cross between rugby and football. Gridiron came after gaelic football and was only invented because north americans struggled at football and rugby.

[nelsitorocks]

thts y no one plays it in north amaerica... got it... n all thts for girls they dont even hit american football all da way

[warriorprince1010]

More people in North america play football than gridiron, you guys just are not very good at football, hence the anger.

[spikeyapples]

if you mean soccer, than USA's achieved more at World Cup, than Ireland, Mexico, Romania, or Denmark; and actually even beat England once ;)

[hill16lala]

no you havent ireland has beaten england twice one of which had to be ended because the england fans caused a riot and when has america ever beaten italy....oh yea you havent well we have!!!!!!!!!!!

[spikeyapples]

dude, check your facts: USA 1-0 England at World Cup 1950 in Brazil; as for England vs Ireland, they played to a draw at World Cup-90, while Ireland beat England at euro-88-- still went out at the group stage. as for beating Italy, that was early in 94; Italy often starts slow, but they still got to the final, unlike Ireland :) whereas England never even beat Italy in any meaningful games at all

[NicolasJamin]

crazy sport! must be soo cardio though in that huge field

[The0Kitch]

depends on what level, like in every sport...

[damosc88]

"-this skill requires anticipation and FEARLESSNESS"

lol cracks me up how pumped up about this game this guy is, yeah you need to be real fearless to smother

[Donkeyhawk]

this is a great sport. we need this on tv and we need pro leagues across the world

[hugmaster4848]

its more like a mix of soccer, rugby and aussie rules football.

[scafullking]

i like this. its kinda funny how the linesman (?) at the end of the goal look like scientists. interesting stuff, thanks.

[xbabaykatehx]

ii personally LOVE gaelic =] played since ii was 5.. best craic (Y) up da irish hehe xoxoxoxooxox

[szerdahelyigyerek]

I should found the first gaelic football team in Slovakia :D

[gullumia]

Nice description, but the voice is so mechanical. I'm sure the Irish can come up with a better video than this. :)

Too bad Gaelic football is not as widely publicised as association football.

[keveylawwd]

mbantua wrong way around aussies come to ireland to learn how to kick a circular bal lmao

[Mbantua]

It's amazing how well Irish players who come to Australia learn how to kick an oval ball so easily. Tadhg Kennelly is one of the most accurate and penetrating kickers in the AFL.

[aeiou12aeiou12]

other way round m8 lol

[Marcoshary]

This is very interesting

[shiffty1032231]

Im an American of Irish descent. I love watching these clips online of Gaelic Football because it has the pace of soccer games mixed with the faster movements of the NFL (American Football) compared too how slow NFL games can be. If these teams have the skills of Ladamian Tomilison or Randy Moss to run and catch the balls then whatever team they are on will kick ass.

ps: American Football is not the most boring sport in the world. It is rugby mixed with strategy and better ball movements.

[ThunderHead1]

Correction: it is rugby mixed with wussy pads so the girls won't hurt themselves when they hug each other and call it a tackle, with worst ball movements and just too much strategy, enough to make it the most mechanyzed and boring game ever! :D

[MyCorrumba]

Rugby Is Teh Best Sport (Y)

American Football.

You Can't Call That A Sport.

:D

[xbabaykatehx]

yoo you.. im a gurl && ii play gaelic.. stop slagging it.. bet u cudnt fucking play it.. ye pussy >_>.. !

UP DA IRISHHHHHHHH(Y)

[killyneary]

@shiffty1032231 piss away off you yankee tube!

[clearya]

..Says the American with, quite possibly, one of the most BORING sports I have ever seen. Our guys have more passion and don't even get paid for playing the sport they love.

[nugoishere]

onegeria you ass wipe

[MalignantWon]

I understand the ignorant twat offended you. Some of us are actually not asses! And I agree American Football is among the worst sports of all time.

So, as non-confrontationally as I possibly can, all I'm saying is we're not all fucking cunts who know nothing outside of our huge Gucci sunglasses and Prada hand bags.

And as for said stupid American, shut the hell up. Any sports worth watching you either have to leave the US to watch them.

[hannibalsloat]

sorry no offense to u, that guy just really annoyed me..

[MalignantWon]

None taken. His ignorance must be blissful. Heheh. Enjoy the fact you have the opportunity to witness good sports on a daily basis! I am not afforded such an opportunity...dammit!!!

[hannibalsloat]

ya stupid cunt , it just shows how ignorant and fucking stupid ya all are, no wonder the whole world hates u. The fucking cheek of u saying that, when u have the most ridiculous sport on earth "American football" it only stops and starts every two minutes and then all the little fags that play it have to wear protective gear in case they brake a nail..Ya stupid fuck!!!

[easytoremember246]

I am an American by definition and I must say. Thank you.

[CavemanSynthesizer]

@hannibalsloat

As far as the padding goes, this actually allows players to hit harder on tackles - similar to how boxing gloves actually allow fighters to strike with more force without damaging their hands.

American football isn't for everyone, but anyone who says it's for "fags" is ignorant. I've got nothing against other types of football but American football has more impact at the tackle than any other type of football.

[ra4lyf]

how is it crappy sport it is da best in da world ure view is very narrow

[RxTim]

damn, it looks like aussie rules with a round ball

[oirish71]

the net bulges, i love the dry commentary typically irish.

[Ruchsacksepp]

rough

[jimminycricket86]

its not a mixture of any sports. its older than soccer basketball and rugby also hurling is thousands of years old

[P2DAHEA]
