...that Gaelic Football was derived from VFL!
One of the strangest codes of football I have seen is that played by Australia and Ireland in several international test series over the last few years. It's a blend of Gaelic football and Australian Rules - I can't remember if it has a name - and it combines aspects of both in an attempt to ensure that neither country gets a significant advantage. It's played with a round ball that can be kicked or handballed and has a curious scoring system that involves maximum points for putting the ball in a soccer-style net guarded by a goalie, less points for over the net but between two high posts and 1 point for outside the net and high posts but inside another smaller post.
