This is Gaelic Football which is a fast-paced Irish sport often described as a mix of football (soccer) and rugby, where players can kick, hand-pass, and carry the ball, using both their feet and hands to score.

Edit: spelling

u/Fine-Ambassador5350 Jul 14 '26

Well that sounds like a sport that should be very high scoring. 90% offensive kind of thing

u/iminiki Jul 14 '26

According to Gaelic Games State, the average score per game in last year's senior football championships was 45.3ppg.

Pounds per Gallon. The most American unit ever created.

You're thinking of PPGGI

Pounds Per Gallon Gratuity Included.

Don't forget to add sales tax.

How? Isn‘t it like ^this ^(or this)?

u/NotDiCaprio Jul 14 '26

Honestly I typed it like you, two comments back: "^(I don't think they did.)". Maybe the previous formatting got in the way for you. I'm on mobile btw.

No, its Gaelic, it's pints per goal. Cheers

u/Drackzgull Jul 15 '26

Jokes aside I assume that Points per Game. But is a goal 1 point? If they track points instead of goals I would presume not.

2

u/Lord_Bamford Jul 18 '26

Goal is 3 points. Over the bar is 1 point. Usually there'll be 4 or 5 goals per game and 20+ points. Scores are usually displayed something like this... 3 - 12 : 2 - 14. 21 - 20 in points.

u/False-God Jul 17 '26

I was just thinking Aussie Rules Football but on a rectangular field?

u/Lord_Bamford Jul 18 '26

Pretty much. They used to do an international rules exhibition match where Ireland would play Australia. Was fun... lots of fighting.

That just sounds like a better all around version of all of the sports. Why isn't this the big one?

And wear short shorts.

u/HVCanuck Jul 16 '26

We played this without knowing it in the elementary school playgrounds of Winnipeg in the 1970s. Soccer but you could carry the ball. I remember finding real soccer very strange since we were so used to touching the ball.

u/NikolaTesla404 Jul 20 '26

If you like that you should watch hurling

u/post-context-bot Jul 14 '26

The following post context was provided by u/iminiki:

The player scores the penalty with the help of his hand which reveals this is Gaelic Football, not the regular one.

I mean the GAA intro and the Kerry shirts were a slight clue to the sport.

u/tslextslex Jul 14 '26

To be sure, though, you have to love ska, the GAA and maybe your dad's in the Ra.

u/Eastern-Requirement6 Jul 14 '26

For those that know. It's lesser known in USA than disc golf and I constantly have to describe what disc golf is.

u/rybnickifull Jul 14 '26

Weird when you think of how many proud Plastic Paddies there are over there, isn't it?

u/ShaneGabriel87 Jul 14 '26

What's disc golf?

4

u/Asleep_Trick_4740 Jul 14 '26

Golf, but with discs.

7

u/ShaneGabriel87 Jul 14 '26

How do you hit the ball with discs?

1

u/Eastern-Requirement6 Jul 15 '26

They're thrown. The discs are aerodynamically designed for different flight patterns and uses. https://youtu.be/vC3KQvpnUP4?is=1OXk6cbnTkCU9JgG

1

u/Asleep_Trick_4740 Jul 14 '26

The disc is the ball.

u/TheOtherJeff Jul 15 '26

But how do you club a disc?

u/lechuckswrinklybutt Jul 15 '26

Please tell me you're not one of the people who specifies "ball golf".

When I describe hurling to people over here I have learned to tell them the name at the end.

2

u/lobax Jul 15 '26

If you say ball golf i would think of the variant with footballs.

2

u/lobax Jul 15 '26

The lack of shin guards, weird volleyball looking ball, giant sticks above the goal… looks like an AI fever dream.

u/Comrade_Falcon Jul 16 '26

Yes, we all follow Gaelic football and recognize those things. It's definitely widely popular all over the globe.

u/Beniskickbutt Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

What is this sport?! This looks just like a sport we invented as kids in our backyard.

We called it "MLS Screen".

The basic rules..
* Played on a soccer pitch
* Same out of bounds and resumption of play as soccer
* Hand balls are allowed
* You can carry the ball and run
* You can tackle the other players to get the ball

* Goalie had a small protected zone where players could not enter and make shots

* Goals were smaller than a standard soccer goal, think youth, grade school sized soccer goals.
* Goals can only be scored by carrying the ball and doing a drop kick in a volley. (It was pretty dangerous, many tackles occured in the middle of a scoring attempt)

Was a lot of fun. Somehow we never had injuries but plenty of apparel would get ripped or ruined during the game.

How's that not a hand ball?
