We Entered the World's Most Dangerous Football Game 

'my dad scored in 2003' as someone who lives nearby, can confirm that everyone knows someone who knows someone who has scored (or been hospitalised) at some point

Foreigners think Brits are posh and civilised but little do they know that this is what true brits look like

Me at the beginning: why us she bragging about her dad scoring in a game? LoL Me after realising that even touching the ball is impossible: 😯

It’s like when a year 7 robs your footy so everyone rushed them

that bloke crying in the bath was pure solid

Imagine being at the park then 1000s of people just sprint at you

You two better be at the Gloucestershire Cheeserolling this year

this is weirdly wholesome

Me: opens one pack of gum *Literally the whole school:*

This is literally how football started in ancient England. They had to limit it to a 110m square due to death to field workers which affected harvest, as only circa 110 men could fit on each side. This is where 11 a side came from as well as the regulation football pitch size Shout out Mr Davies. Sick history teacher

*You call it a football game, I call it a sanctioned riot.*

Please never stop reporting from and sharing these crazy British traditions - I literally love it and didnt even know half of these existed haha!

if i remember rightly, last year the ball actually passed through a pub, the very same year that my old history teacher scored the ball, the year before that, my mum’s personal trainer scored the ball, it’s an iconic game lmao

Fair play on the filming lads, tried to do it myself and I can attest it's bloody tricky to capture. Touched the ball twice with both hands and feet, weirdly amazing feeling! Any, give-it-goers: Do be warned, in a ruck you can get the air squeezed outta ya, so best keeping your arms in front of your chest to give you a bitta breathing space!

can you sneak into James Charles tour?

It doesn't get more English than this

"some guy had his knob out in a pub," as a brit i can say this happens so often with a bunch of pissed up football players or rugby players. shit gets too funny sometimes.

"What's the maddest thing you've seen?" "Some guy had is knob out in the pub" 😂

When that dad started swinging like a madman that was out of order lol

To all the Americans: this game is older than your country.

it says something, when you have to make " dont kill anyone" a rule for a game

alternative video title: 16 minutes of hardcore british people screaming

"I don't like to play any sports games, because I could hurt myself" England: *Hold my ball*

7:37 i appreciate the niche harry potter refference

Jamie's that one friend that will hype you up, lots of energy and motivation, and Zach's the good wingman, cool and calculated advice. I'm talking out of my ass but isn't that cool to think about 🙂

Almost like the queue at the cafeteria in secondary school..

Legitimately my two favourite RU-vidrs. Best content I’ve seen for a long time. Keep up the hard work lads, One for you to lookout for August market deeping raft race

Welcome to Derbyshire, the best county😂😂

They also do this in Atherstone in Warwickshire on shrove Tuesday. It's not three miles long like this but it runs the whole main Street in Atherstone. Both are mad 😝👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is absolutely the best sport I've ever ever heard of. I hate sports, but I would absolutely travel to the UK just for this...

Jamie runs like hes tossing off 2 ghosts

It’s amazing how this game has been played every year between the North of the town and the South of the town for over 400 years. The Atherton Ball Game which is similar, has been played in the town every year for over 800 years. It’s crazy to think about.

Madness I didn’t even no this existed barely any of these sports on this channel

Welcome to the UK🤣🤣the amount of traditions there are r unreal and I want to Go to them all!

How is this not marketed as for tourism? lol. Why go to Spain for the bulls.

That game is why Britain had the biggest Empire the World has ever known.

When someone brings a football into school

In the army, we call this murder ball🇬🇧🤘😀

We have a similar game in my home town (Workington) We call it uppies and downies. Literally no rules (apart from not killing anyone). You have to hail the ball at one of 2 specific locations. You can use cars/boats whatever you want to transport the ball.

Possibly the best video this platform has ever seen

North is a downered and south is an uppered........that makes TOTAL sense.

“How’d you end up in there” 😂😂😂😂

Never been to Ashborne but im proud to be from the UK seeing this shit class video lads

brits singlehandedly held the germans they have my respect

So your allowed to assult people and thats it lmao?

I love how Tudor sports are still going on today - they used to do this with a pig bladder and yes, you could kill xD

Ha-ha-ha - the mirror opposite of football - 'DON'T pass me the ball !'

Meanwhile in Germany: "please don't throw snowballs😚"

When you think Russians are weird

This is truly amazing bringing people together it’s fun and if government wanted to charge this to happen screw it I’ll pay . Imagine like Nottingham vs Darby on motorway 🤣🤣🤣

This beats ‘ communities’ where everyone lives in fear of eachother in private prisons , too scared to venture out having watched the evenings’ regional tv news of fear & mistrust. In Southern England though even Working Mens Clubs are now seen as a ‘ threat to peace ‘ and ‘ potential disorder ‘ . Did I spot the cynicism in your expression during the national anthem ? Good for you - we apparently still have the freedom to choose whom we worship. 🏴❤️😁

"I've never been to England before. What's it like?" Proceeds to send to first 30 seconds of this video

this is one insane mosh pit if I’ve ever seen one.

Dropped on this video by accident, lovely, quiet little Market Town, Ashbourne. However not the best place, has a 17 year old to take your driving test on Shrove Tuesday.

Where I’m from in Manchester we have whit Friday where the roads are shut for brass bands like this makes us look well sad

LOVE this video ! Thanks for filming and running around like mad men for our entertainment. Keep up the good work boys!

teacher; did you do you homework student; no teacher; why student; i was pushing people for a football

One of the best videos of I've ever seen no lie

can you go to bunol and do the tomato throwing thing. It is in spain. People throw Tomatoes at each other

This would be a good way to settle wars, then all down the pub for a pint to talk about it.

Omfg if you guys told me you were there I could have shown you everything. I live in Ashbourne. Plus I thought I saw u but I didn’t know for sure.

We call it uppies and downies in Cumbria 😬😂

You guys have high quality content. Nicely produced and entertaining.

I'm having a panic attack watching this in quarantine

That's nice that he's got a matching hood for his mic.

I recognise all of this. My Nan lives in Ashbourne and I visit her a lot

This makes the cheese rolling contest look tame. Us Brits are mad. Lol

When your on a vacation :Mom what a lovely place isn’t it :Me pardon I mean yes totally normal place

My old Politics teacher and Head of Sixth Form Rob Archer is a councillor for Clifton and Ashbourne South in the Derbyshire Dales district council. So massive shout out to him. (He never said he participated despite me asking)

Jamie’s in his element ahah

Bloke jumps into stream and pulls his hood up. Classic.

Proud to be Derbyshire born, Derbyshire bred, strong int arm and weak int ed.

Imagine this in London it would be the biggest gang war ever🤣🤣

This literally is the genesis of modern football and rugby. None of that helmet and pads nonsense our American cousins go for.

Great video, looks like you had a brilliant time. I live in Ashbourne and it's crazy every year but this year actually wasn't the best year I've been too. Love your vlogs. 👍

“Jimmy carr laugh” 😂😂

Ive been taking part in this event (if you call it that) for 3 years. This years injury is a double fracture to my right tibia. Oh for the love of the game. Not gonna be walking for 2-3 months but who cares

Its like a mashup between Rugby, Netball, Basketball, Football, Soccer and other sports involving Balls.

Yup I live next to Ashbourne it’s great

Darwin: Evolution! Britts: Hold my beer

Its shit like this that honestly makes me proud to be from england 😂

As a german I love british culture!

This is how wars should be sorted.

“This is someone’s dad” 🤣😭🤣 this is why families don’t play board games nowadays.

The Brits, Holy Fuck!

Feels like an episode of Peaky Blinders lol

Feel wholesome as hell bruv. Good culture.

How do you know who's on your team? 😅

LOL we learned about this game here in german school. Really funny thing. 👍 Great to see it in this Video.

im from workington in cumbria. we have a game very similar played over easter, an i thought it was only our town who play this crazy shit. uppies and downies differant names but the same crazy game!

I still wonder how these guys ruled half of the world.

Shadwell army!!

want to know what would make this event even better? machine gun nests

Its like the purge but football style and no killing lol

Some of the scenes remind me of the time I accidently caught the drumsticks of the drummer of Pearl Jam...

12:56

american: whats england like me:shows them this video

This is how football started centuries ago.

in Indonesian we mention the game called tauran

THIS!! This rite here is freaking awesome!! 💪🏼🤘🏼😜🙌🏼
