Gaelic football wetttipps
Gaelic football has been described as a cross between rugby and association football - but the gaelic game came first.
Like rugby, there are 15 players in a team, but like football a round ball is used.
From the local junior team to the all-ireland final at the highly impressive croke park stadium, the passion and commitment on the pitch are the same all over.
Its origins pre-date recorded history, but the gaelic athletic association (GAA) was founded in 1884.
It's not only in ireland that gaelic football is played.
Clubs are now well established in america, australia, new zealand, britain, canada and mainland europe.
The game is also played in many other parts of the world where there are large numbers of irish people.
Indeed a team in new york competes in the all-ireland championship each year.
There is an annual international rules series played between ireland and australia.
The rules of that particular game being a mix of gaelic football and australian rules football.
It is thought that australian rules was based on gaelic football after the game was taken to the other side of the world by those who were deported or who emigrated there a couple of hundred years ago.
There are now over 2,500 clubs within ireland alone, these clubs feed into the county system.
That is where 32 teams compete each year to be all-ireland champions and lift football's coveted sam maguire trophy.
This is the most effective tactic in gaelic football at the moment
You have to score to win games.
It is a hell of a lot easier said than done though.
In the days where sweeper systems and blanket defences are wide spread, teams have had to reinvent how they attack.
Off the shoulder running and quick counter attacks have been given a new life lease of life due to this and how teams go about scoring was a talking point on the latest episode of the GAA hour.
"the most effective tactic in the game at the minute is getting the ball from defence to attack as fast and as quick as possible," said former armagh footballer steven mcdonnell.
"if you've got ball winners in the half forward line that can control the ball first time from the kick pass then you have a strong opportunity to get the ball further into the score zone with that type of play."
Colm parkinson went in-depth into how this tactic should work.
"this is the way you look at it," the former laois player said. "you have a two man full forward line and you have a two man half forward line and everybody else defends when you don't have the ball."
"you're working back so if the other team is slow with its build up you've got 11 players behind the ball."
All hell breaks loose at parnell park as two sent off in late brawl
"so when you have a two man full forward line. You're always told 'movement', crisscross.
"all these things that you've learned at underage level and all the way up through in the full forward line, the same principle applies to the two lads in the half forward line because they're another point of attack now so they have to be crisscrossing, they have to be getting out in front of their man.
"they have to be giving you the same movement, they have to be acting like full forwards but in the half forward line so when they get on that ball they're turning and they're giving it in.
"in my head, if I had a football team, I would be doing shot clocks in training, I would be doing two half forwards and two full forwards, I would be coaching movement. Anyone who doesn't want to move and put their body on the line to win that ball in the half forward line and move that ball fast you're not playing on the team. And I think that's beautiful tactics for a senior football team."

Gaelic football can be said to be a mixture of soccer, rugby and basketball, although it predates all of those games. It is a field game, which has evolved along similar lines as australian rules football.
The ball: gaelic football is played with a round ball, slightly smaller, and heavier than a soccer ball.
The field: the playing area is a rectangular field, approximately 137 metres long, and 82 metres wide.
Goalposts: the goalposts are the same basic shape as rugby goalposts, but the crossbar is lower than in rugby and it has netting similar to a soccer net.
Scoring:there are two methods for scoring:
1. A point: when the ball goes over the crossbar and between the uprights it is worth one (1) point. This is accomplished by either kicking or hand-passing.
2. A goal: when the ball is put under the crossbar and between the uprights, it is worth three (3) points. This can be accomplished:
A) when the ball is in the attackers possession and control, he may score a goal by kicking the ball.
B) or, if the ball is in the air, and in nobody’s possession, the attacker may punch it directly into the net, much like a spike in volleyball.
3. When a score is given to the attacking team, the kickout is taken from the 21-yard line.
1. The ball can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or “hand-passed”, a striking motion with the hand or fist.
2. After every four steps the ball must either be bounced or “solo-ed”, an action of dropping the ball onto the foot and kicking it back into the hand.
3. You may not bounce the ball twice in a row.
4. Players may not lift the ball directly from the ground. However, in ladies’ gaelic football, the ball may be picked up directly. The toe may be used to lift the ball from the ground, into the hands.
5. If a player illegally lifts the ball from the ground, the opposing team regains possession, and a free is taken from the point where the foul occurred.
1. The ball may be kicked from the ground at any time.
2. The ball may also be kicked from the hand.
3. Rule infractions are also punished by a free-kick, in which a player may kick the ball from the ground, or from his hand, unimpeded by an opponent.
4. If a personal foul to an attacking player is committed within his opponents’ large parallelogram, a penalty to the attacking team is awarded.
5. A special free called a ’45’, in gaelic football, is awarded to an attacking team if a defender plays the ball last before it crosses the defenders’ end line. This free is so called because it is taken from the defenders’ 45 metre line. This free must be taken from the ground. It is taken perpendicular to where the ball crossed the line.
1. The player in possession may elect to ‘hand-pass’ the ball to a teammate, or over the crossbar, especially in confined spaces when a kick could be blocked.
2. The hand-pass is executed by holding the ball in one hand and cleanly striking it with the other.
3. The referee must see a clear striking motion, as throwing the ball (allowed in rugby) is not allowed and is punishable with a free kick to the opposition.
Solo: A solo is one of the most difficult skills in gaelic football, especially when performed at speed. It is executed by dropping the ball from the hand to the foot, and then flicking it with the foot back up to the hand. This move is completed while running.
1. A player in possession may carry the ball a maximum of four steps before either:
A) bouncing the ball on the ground back to himself
B) kicking the ball to himself (solo)
2. The player may not take more than one bounce consecutively while running
3. He must at least alternate it with a solo every other four steps, although there is no limit to the amount of consecutive solos a player may take.
1. Tackling in gaelic football is confined to tackling the ball.
2. It is illegal to trip, punch, hold, drag, pull or rugby tackle another player.
3. It is legal, however, to make full body contact as long as it is a clear attempt to win the ball.
4. The main methods of trying to dispossess a player are as follows
A) blocking the kick: A defender may attempt to block the ball as it leaves the attacker’s foot, as shown in the picture above. If the ball is blocked it is considered ‘loose’ and players may compete for it again.
B) knocking the ball: the defender may try to knock the ball out of the attacker’s grasp by hitting it with one of his hands. It is important to play the ball in this case, as striking the player can result in a free-kick and also a yellow or red card.
C) jostling the opponent: A player may jostle, or shoulder-to-shoulder charge, an opponent when racing to win a loose ball, or when trying to knock an opponent off the ball.

Gaelic football
Background
The most widely played sport in ireland is gaelic football, which along with hurling is organised by the gaelic athletics association (GAA) and is the national sport of ireland.
The game of gaelic football
Football is like a cross between, soccer and rugby and is closely associated with australian rules football.
Gaelic football is played with a round ball, slightly smaller and heavier than a soccer ball and played against rugby style H shaped goal posts. Points are scored by either putting the ball over the opponent's bar, as with rugby, for one point, or within the goal posts as with soccer, which is worth three points. Players can kick the ball or handle the ball, but just to make it more difficult, they can't travel with the ball for more than four steps - players have to bounce it on the ground or drop the ball onto their foot and kick it back into their hand, which, in the game, is called soloing.
Gaelic football is not for the feint hearted. It's an extremely physical game played with 15 men on each side (a goalkeeper, two corner backs, a full back, three half backs, two midfielders, three half forwards, two corner forwards and a full forward) plus up to fifteen substitutes, of which five may be used. Like all other GAA sports, football is an amateur sport and it's the game's toughness, skill and high point scoring that makes the game of gaelic football, ireland's number one sport.
Competitive football
The game is played at club and county level and the biggest competition in the game is the inter-county championships, where teams from each of the 32 counties of ireland battle it out for a place in the all ireland finals. These finals, held at croke park each september are the biggest sporting events in the country, as 80,000 people pack out ireland's largest stadium, to cheer on their home county and hopefully watch their team lift the sam maguire cup.
County football honours
Over the years football has been dominated by county kerry. Known as the kingdom, kerry has been crowned kings of football more times than any other county and are followed by fierce rivals dublin. In recent years ulster teams such as armagh and tyrone have risen to prominence.
Football greats
The game has had numerous heroes throughout the years but the two that stand out are kerrymen mick O'connell and pat spillane. Playing in the 1960s mick O'connell would row over from valencia island to the mainland for matches. Considered one of the most accomplished footballers of his day, mick O'connell played in nine all ireland finals for kerry, winning four. Fellow kerryman, pat spillane won eight all ireland medals between 1975 and 1986 and is one now one of football's most well known commentators. And of course there is jack lynch, a successful footballer and hurler who won all ireland medals with cork in both sports, and went on to lead ireland as taoiseach (ireland's premier), during the 60s and 70s.
International rules football
From the 1960s spin off matches have been played between footballers form the gaelic leagues and from australian rules. In 1984 international rules football was officially born and each year see hard fought and often controversial test matches played for the cormac mcanallen cup, between irish and australian teams, in each country concurrently. At the time of writing in 2012, these matches were tied with 8 series wins each. There is much debate about the game's future, with arguments regarding fair play and the possibility of the game being expanded to include south africa playing in a three-country tournament. The game of gaelic football has clearly come a long way since it was first formally codified in 1887.
Each parish in ireland has a gaelic football club and the game is played by over two thirds of irishmen. With games played all over the country and virtually each week of the year, you could find a game to watch as part of your ireland vacation experience.

If staying in accomodation close to the main stadiums it is worth checking out a live match if only to see kerry in action against the likes of cork, dublin and tyrone.

Gaelic football rules
Created oct 3, 2000 | updated jun 6, 2008
It is a misconception, usually arrived at after studying the game intently, that gaelic football has no rules. In fact, it has two sets; the original rules set down by the GAA in 1887, and the current rules. Confusion stems from the fact that the new rules are the same set of rules for both gaelic football and hurling. The former is as described below, but the latter is similar to gaelic football but it is played with a hurl 1 and a sliotar 2 .
The original rules
There shall not be less than 15 or more than 21 players a-side.
There shall be two umpires and a referee. Where the umpires disagree, the referee's decision shall be final.
The ground shall be at least 120 yards long and 80 yards in breadth and properly marked by boundary lines. Boundary lines are to be at least five yards from the fences.
Goal posts shall stand at each end in the centre of the goal-line. They shall be 15 feet apart, with the cross-bar eight feet from the ground.
The captains of each team shall toss for choice of sides before commencing play. The players shall stand in two ranks opposite each other, until the ball is thrown up, with each man holding the hand of one of the other side.
Pushing or tripping from behind, holding from behind, or butting with the head shall be deemed a foul. Players so offending shall be asked to stand aside and may not afterwards take any part in the match, nor can his side substitute another man.
The time of actual play shall be one hour. The sides are to be changed at half-time.
The match shall be decided by the greater number of goals. If no goal is kicked, the match shall be deemed a draw. A goal is scored when the ball is kicked through the goal-posts and under the cross-bar.
When the ball is kicked over the side-line it shall be thrown back in any direction by a player of the other side. If kicked over the goal-line by a player of the other side, the goal-keeper whose line it crosses shall have a free kick. No player on the other side is to approach nearer than 25 yards of him till the ball is kicked.
The umpires and referee shall have, during the match, full power to disqualify any player or order him to stand aside and discontinue play for any act which they may consider unfair as set out in rule six.
The current rules
Technical fouls
This section deals with fouls 'against the ball', that is to say, fouls committed by a player which do not infringe on another player.
Players may not lift the ball directly from the ground. The toe or the hurl may be used to lift the ball from the ground, into the hands. If a player illegally lifts the ball from the ground, the opposing team regains possession, and a free is taken from the point where the foul occurred.
When in possession of the ball, a player may take no more than four steps while holding the ball. He may, however, start on a 'solo-run', dropping the ball from hand to foot, and playing it back to the hand 'toe-tap' in football, or soloing on the hurley in hurling. If a player takes more than four steps with the ball in his hand, a free is awarded to the opposing team.
A player may pass the ball using either the hand ('hand pass') or by kicking the ball to a teammate ('foot pass'), or in hurling by striking the ball with the hurl. A legal 'hand pass' is committed by a player who makes it apparent to the referee that a clean striking action has occurred (to clearly show that the ball was not thrown).
If an attacking player is within his opponent's small parallelogram before the ball enters, it is deemed a 'square ball', and a free is given out to the defending team. However, if the ball enters before him, or enters, is cleared and played back into the small parallelogram before he has time to exit, a foul is not called.
Personal fouls
This section deals with fouls committed by a player on another player.
A defending player may try to dispossess or tackle an attacking player by one of two methods:
Tackling 'shoulder-to-shoulder' is making fair contact with your shoulder to the other player's shoulder to try and unbalance him. The defender may not use his hip or elbow in the tackle, and one foot has to be on the ground during the whole tackling procedure. A player may use the shoulder to push a player away from the ball whilst both of them are chasing a 'fifty-fifty' ball which is when neither team is in proper possession of the ball.
In gaelic football, the player may attempt to knock the ball from the attacker's hands with the open palm. Only one hand can be used, and the defender cannot try to pull it from the attacker, he must knock it cleanly from his possession.
If either of these rules is breached, the referee awards a free to the attacking player. Consistent personal fouling by a player may warrant a booking from the referee, and if he is booked a second time, he must leave the field of play, and suffer an immediate two-week suspension. This suspension may be lengthened by the appropriate disciplinary board.
No player may pull the jersey of an opposing player during the game, whether it is while running for the ball, tackling an attacking player, or during quiet periods of play. Consistent pulling of an opposing player's jersey may warrant a booking, and if the foul is committed at a later time and noted by the referee, this mandates a sending off.
A free is awarded if one player pushes an opposing player, while chasing him, tackling him, or if one player is in front of another for a catch and the payer behind pushes his opponent to get a better chance of catching the ball.
If a player strikes any other player on the pitch, with either the fist or the boot, whether an opponent or on the same team, he is to be immediately put off. A minimum two-week suspension is imposed, and this may be extended by the appropriate disciplinary board.
If the referee deems a player to be a danger to other players, he has the right to caution the player about his conduct. If this conduct is not changed, the referee may book the player. If again this makes no difference, the referee has the right to put the player off. A two-week suspension is imposed upon the player.
Frees and penalties
If a foul is committed outside the 14-yard line, the free is to be taken by a player on the attacking side, from the ground. In gaelic football, the free may now be taken from the hands. If he is taking the free kick from the hand, he is not allowed bounce the ball, throw it from hand-to-hand, etc before the free is taken.
Fouls committed inside the 14-yard line, but outside the large parallelogram, are brought out to the 14-yard line, perpendicular to the end line. The free may be taken from the ground or hand, and the same rules apply to the free taker if the free is being taken from the hand.
If a personal foul to an attacking player is committed within his opponents' large parallelogram, a penalty to the attacking team is awarded. Penalties are one-on-one frees taken from the 14-yard line, directly in front of the centre of the goal. In gaelic football only the defending goalkeeper may stand in the goal, but in hurling the goalkeeper and two other players may line the goal. All players (except the player taking the penalty and those on the line) must be 14 yards away from the ball and outside the 14-yard line, and may not encroach on these boundaries until the ball has been played. Recently, new markings to the pitch showing these boundaries have been introduced.
If a technical foul is committed by a defending player within his own large rectangle, but outside the small parallelogram, a 14-yard free is awarded to the attacking team.
If a technical foul is committed by a defending player inside his own small parallelogram, a penalty is awarded to the attacking team. A special free called a '45', in football 3 is awarded to an attacking team if a defender plays the ball last before it crosses the defenders' end line. This free is so called because it is taken from the defenders' 45 metre line. This free must be taken from the ground. It is taken perpendicular to where the ball crossed the line.
Sidelines and kick outs
A player who touches the ball last before it crosses out of play is penalised by possession returning to the other team and a free awarded depending on where the ball leaves the field of play. If the ball crosses the sideline, a sideline is taken. This free may be taken in a similar fashion to any other free awarded, and is taken from where the ball left the field of play.
If an attacking player is the last to touch the ball before it crosses the end line, a kick out/puck out is awarded to the defending team. Kick outs in gaelic football are taken from the ground. Puck outs, in hurling, are where the goalkeeper has a free strike of the ball from his goal area. Where they are taken depends on where they crossed the end line.
If the ball crosses the end line but does not go between the defenders' goalposts, a wide ball is declared and the free kick is taken from the six yard line (ie the front of the small parallelogram).
In football, if the ball crosses the end line, and goes between the defenders' goalposts, either above or below the crossbar, a score is given to the attacking team and the kick out is taken from the 21-yard line.
Scoring
In gaelic football there are two types of score, a goal or a point.
A point is scored by playing the ball over your opponents' end line, between their goalposts, and over the crossbar.
A goal is scored by playing the ball over your opponents' end line, between the goalposts, and under the crossbar. A goal is worth three points.
Players may score from either the hand or the foot. A goal cannot be scored using the hand pass method, although points can be scored this way. A goal scored by hand will count if the referee deems it not to have been by the hand pass method, eg if a player is in possession of the ball, drops it, and punches the ball into the goal this will count.
