The game is now played all over the world, and is growing in popularity every year. There sport has been played in the United States ever since Irish emigrants first came to its shores. 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. The majority of adult football and all minor and under matches last for 60 minutes, divided into two halves of 30 minutes, with the exception of senior inter-county games, which last for 70 minutes two halves of 35 minutes. Draws are decided by replays or by playing 20 minutes of extra time two halves of 10 minutes. Juniors have a half of 20 minutes or 25 minutes in some cases. Half-time lasts for about 5 or 10 minutes. Teams consist of fifteen players a goalkeeper, two corner backs, a full back, two wing backs, a centre back, two mid fielders, two wing forwards, a centre forward, two corner forwards and a full forward plus up to fifteen substitutes, of which five may be used. Each player is numbered 1—15, starting with the goalkeeper, who must wear a jersey colour different from that of his or her teammates. Up to fifteen substitutes may be named on the team sheet, number 16 usually being the reserve goalkeeper. Teams consist of fifteen players: a goalkeeper, three full backs, three half backs, two midfielders, three half forwards and three full forwards see diagram. The panel is made up of 24 —30 players and five substitutions are allowed per game. The O'Brien Press - Great Moments in Gaelic Football The Tyrone roar had Croke Park shaking on its hinges. The Meath team of the late 90s was just something serious and Trevor Giles oozed class with every act he performed for the two-time All-Ireland champions. One of the best set piece kickers around, his skill out the field and vision set him apart. He made the game look so simple. And so damn beautiful. Whatever about his disciplinary record, Diarmuid Connolly is one of the most talented men to ever pick up a football and his ability to demystify the game is simply unparalleled. The two-footed Connolly is the best passer in the country. His drilled deliveries are like heat-seeking missiles into the chests of team mates, his running power is frightening and his distance shooting is a sight behold. And one to just marvel at. And his seven points from play against Tyrone got those motors burning nicely. One of the best high-fielders the game has ever seen. One of the best passers the game has ever seen. One of the most effortless talents. Enda Muldoon, coined The Big Easy in Ballinderry, is arguably the finest footballer to never even appear in an All-Ireland final with his county. He has God-like status up north and it is not without reason. His brain works so much faster than his counterparts that he's already playing the next game whilst pulling the strings of the current one. A passer, a shooter, a midfielder. A delicious talent. A once-in- a-generation player, every county needs a Maurice Fitzgerald to make football living worthwhile. Talent like his can do nothing but inspire the next pack of hopefuls and warm the hearts of the rest of them. He was a gem of a footballer. A complete footballer. It seemed that everything he did was made for a highlights reel. Never has a man had such command over a football. He could turn on a shoestring, and turn you again, and find targets with nothing to work with. He was tough, game and oh, so talented, came up with answers under serious pressure time and time again. A class act. At this time of the year my column is usually devoted to what I call the good, the bad and the ugly moments from the the All-Ireland championship. U sually, however, the article ends up being too negative. So I've decided to break with tradition this year and pick my 20 outstanding moments from this summer's enthralling championship. It was a memorable series for lots of reasons. I make no apologies for including so many Dublin moments on the list. They did make history after all and deservingly so. No contest really — they were the story of the football championship. They secured their fifth title in a row and a seventh in this decade. Unbeaten in 36 consecutive championship games they now have ten players with seven All-Ireland medals. Probably the greatest team of all time — who knows! Dublin's magic 13 minutes of total football at the start of the second half against Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final. They scored without reply — it was Gaelic football at its very best. I have never seen any other team in the modern era come even close to matching what they produced. It was orgasmic football. Master-minded the five-in-a-row and between and he has endured just one defeat in championship football. His record is played 47, won 43, drew three and lost one. Speaks for itself. True, there may have been better quality finals in the past but this match had everything one demands from a proper sporting contest. It was exciting, enthralling and entertaining. They were brilliant individual displays, outstanding scores, lots of talking points and the result in the balance up until the final kick. I'm simply running out of superlatives to describe the Dublin captain. He has single-handedly transformed the goalkeeping role with his kick-out strategy. His composure and leadership are second to none. He saved a penalty in the drawn All-Ireland final and made a vital save from Stephen O'Brien in the replay. And he has now captained Dublin to six All-Ireland wins. I think he will get an All-Star this year. This round 2 encounter in Croke Park was probably the best match in this year's championship. This was essentially an old style traditional shoot-out. It was a roller-coaster contest which featured brilliant scores and the draw was a fair outcome as neither team deserved to lose.

Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh an taitneamh as an cluiche seo inniu. I wish to extend a warm welcome to all the players, Management teams and officials along to Austin Stack Park, Tralee today. Unfortunately, we won’t have any supporters for this year’s League campaign but all going well, by Championship time a limited number of supporters will hopefully be allowed attend the games. Galway travel to Kerry today for their first competitive match since last year’s Connacht championship defeat to near neighbours Mayo and Kerry are in a similar position with this being their first competitive match since last November’s Munster Championship loss to Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Today is a very important game for both teams but Kerry in particular will be hoping to pull off a win at home. Given the long lay off and the compressed nature of this year’s competition, it is difficult to predict how the league will unfold for Counties this year. The condensed nature of the League will I believe prove very challenging for all Counties in the prevention and management of injuries which will be a key consideration.

  • The Word “Legend”
    True Legends are Gathering in Ballybofey… The word “Legend” is an often overused word in describing great sporting prowess or great GAA games and an official definition states “anyone or anything whose fame promises to be enduring”. The exploits of the youthful Clare Hurling team in winning the Liam McCarthy Cup on Saturday evening last, and in doing so beating a well fancied Cork side managed by the great Jimmy Barry Murphy, are already gaining legendary status. The fact that Cork only managed to lead both games for only 90 seconds is a testament to the Clare team but a word of warning….legends are not made in one sporting year !! The more mature readers will recall the fair haired Pat Spillane from the Templenoe Club in the Kingdom of Kerry, setting off on many a solo run from his own half back line and kicking score after score in All-Ireland Finals…I thought that he ran on the tips of his toes..!!!!…then again Legends can perform true feats of skill. True Legend…11 Munster Medals, 2 National Football Medals, 8 All-Ireland Medals and 9 All-Star Awards. Or Colm O Rourke gracefully weaving around flat-footed corner backs to score goals and points at ease, almost like a giant in slow motion. True Legend. 5 Leinster Medals, 3 National Football Legends, 2 All- Ireland Medals and 3 All-Star Awards. Peter Canavan struck fear into whole football teams when he got the ball within scoring distance and his deft touches when scoring goals would be the pride of any Premiership player on €150k a week.
