Don't know about the Gaelic part - however Australia are currently playing Ireland in a hybrid game that they do every year called International Rules which is a mixture of Aussie Rules and Gaelic footy. To be honest...it blows, but it is the only way Aussie Rules players can represent their country I guess. I did hear that it was originally played by cricketers in the off season to keep fit though.

Awesome game, that pretty much no-one outside of Australia knows anything about. It is like my religion during winter.

Check this out - gives an idea of what it is all about:

If "ridiculous" is UK talk for "awesome" then you are correct.

when the alternatives you've got are either Cricket or Rugby, it starts looking pretty good, trust me.

of course St. Kilda is the coolest AFL team.

I wouldnt say entertaining as much as.....a kick up the hole...but seein as you're a Rangers fan, i'd of course expect you to find it entertaining. Fair enuff.
I've been embarrassed most of the time this season, but not givin up!

And, I dunno, but I'd say Celtic fans have behaved far better than Rangers' finest when playin in Europe.
