>WHAT IS GAELIC FOOTBALL?
>A - parallelogram (4.57 metres deep)
>B - 13 metre line
>C - 20 metre line
>D - 45 metre line
>E - centre line
>
>Note: The size given above is for the maximum size of
>pitch. The minimum size is 130 metres by 80 metres
>(426 feet by 262 feet).
>
>
>Objective: Two teams of thirteen players catch, fist,
>or kick the ball to try and get it through the
>opponents goalposts at the end of the field. A game
>lasts 70 minutes, with a maximum interval of 10
>minutes at half time. In the All Ireland senior finals
>and semi-finals the games last 80 minutes.
>
>Three points are scored for getting the ball between
>the posts and under the crossbar, one point for
>getting it between the posts and over the crossbar.
>The captains toss a coin for the choice of ends (which
>goal to aim for). Two players from each team stand in
>two lines at the centre of the field. The other
>players stand behind the 45 metre lines. See pitch
>diagram above for details. The referee then throws the
>ball over the heads of the players.
>
>Three substitutes per team are allowed. They can enter
>play only during stoppages.
>
>
>MORE COMPLEX RULES
>
>
>Ball rules
>
>Players can kick and fist the ball, pass it from hand
>to hand, strike the ball with the hands when it is off
>the ground, bounce the ball between the hand and the
>ground with one hand.
>
>Players cannot throw the ball, hold the ball longer
>than is necessary to pass it, hold the ball for more
>than four steps, or bounce the ball on the hand
>(tipping the ball). Players other than the goalkeepers
>cannot play a ball that is on the ground with their
>hands, unless they are knocked to the ground while in
>possession of the ball. In this case they can fist it
>away.
>
>Goalkeepers can pick the ball up off the ground in
>their own parallelogram (the box around the goalposts)
>with their hands, or fist it up.
>
>The ball can be passed by bouncing it on the ground
>for another player to catch, as throwing is not
>allowed. Fisting the ball is achieved by using the
>clenched hands to move the ball, whereas striking with
>the open hand, palm or back, is not allowed.
>

>
>The goalposts are 6.4 metres (21 feet) wide, and 4.88
>metres (16 feet) high, with the crossbar at the
>halfway point - 2.44 metres (8 feet).
>
>
>Scoring
>
>A goal is scored when the ball passes between the
>posts and under the crossbar, except when carried or
>thrown by a member of the attacking side (in this case
>it would not count). A goal scored like this scores
>three points.
>
>If the ball goes through the posts and over the
>crossbar, one point is scored. Again, if carried or
>thrown by an attacker, it would not count.
>
>Inside the parallelogram
>
>No points are scored if an attacking player (with or
>without the ball) enters the parallelogram before the
>ball, unless the ball re-enters the area before the
>player can leave it, or unless the ball is high enough
>to be out of reach of players in the parallelogram.
>
>Kick out
>
>In a kick out from goal, the ball is kicked from the
>ground within the parallelogram. All opponents must be
>beyond the 20 metre line, all players on the same team
>as the kicker (except the goalkeeper) must be beyond
>the 13 metre line.
>
>After a goal, the ball is kicked out from the 20 metre
>line by the non-scoring team, and no player can stand
>within 13 metres until the ball has been kicked.
>
>
>Kicks
>
>Free kick
>
>A free kick is awarded for all infringements (see
>Fouls and Misconducts below), and except for penalty
>kicks, is taken from the spot indicated by the referee.
>
>The player taking the kick cannot touch the ball after
>kicking it until another player from either side has
>touched it, unless it rebounds off the cross bar or
>one of the posts.
>
>If a player stands nearer than 13 metres or illegally
>charges a free kick or 45 metre kick, the
>non-offending side gets a free kick from the point
>where the offending player stood or charged. If the
>charge takes place within the parallelogram, a penalty
>kick is awarded to the non-offending team.
>
>Penalty kick
>
>If a defender commits a foul within the parallelogram,
>a penalty kick is awarded to the attacking team from
>the centre of the 13 metre line. All players other
>than the goalkeeper must be behind the 20 metre line.
>
>Sideline kick
>
>A side kick is awarded to the opposition if a player
>plays the ball over a sideline (the 145 metre lines).
>The ball is kicked from the point where it crossed the
>line and is placed by a linesman. No other player may
>stand within 13 metres. The kicker may not touch the
>ball again until it has been touched by another player.
>
>45 metre free kick
>
>A 45 metre kick is awarded to the attacking side if a
>defender plays the ball over one of the end lines (the
>90 metre lines). It is taken from the 45 metre line
>closest to the end line and opposite the point where
>the ball crossed the line.
>
>
>Tackling
>
>A player may charge an opponent shoulder to shoulder.
>Other than this counts as a foul. If a player is being
>fairly charged turns to make the charge come from
>behind, that does not count as a foul. A goalkeeper
>cannot be charged in the parallelogram unless they
>have the ball or are obstructing an opponent. Players
>who do not have the ball must not be tackled or
>charged.
>
>
>Fouls and misconduct
>
>Players may not:
>
>ญญ1. Push, kick, trip, hold, strike, or jump at an
>opponent
>
>2. Obstruct a player with the hand or arm, holding or
>not
>
>3. Reach from behind a player who has the ball
>
>4. Charge a player from behind
>
>5. Charge or interfere with an opponent who has or is
>moving to play the ball
>
>
>Interference
>
>If anyone other than a player stops the ball from
>crossing a sideline, a sideline kick is awarded to the
>team whose player touched the ball last. A goal (three
>points), point (one point), or 45 metre kick is
>awarded if the ball is similarly stopped from scoring
>or crossing an endline.
>
>
>Officials
>
>There will be a referee, who controls the game, two
>line officials (or linesmen), one at each side of the
>field, who change ends at half time, and four goal
>umpires, one outside each goalpost, who do not change
>ends.
>
>
>Equipment
>
>Ball
>
>The ball is round, and weighs between 320 and 425
>grams (0.7 to 1 pound) and has a circumference of
>between 69 and 74 centimetres (27 to 29 inches).
>
>
>Clothing
>
>Players wear shirts, shorts, and socks in their team
>colours and studded boots as for football (soccer).
