Rory Beggan believes proposed new rules can improve entertainment value of 'boring' Gaelic football

Monaghan goalkeeper Rory Beggan is excited for the potential impact that proposed new rules for Gaelic football could have on a sport he thinks is often "boring" to watch.

The Scotstown man is preparing for a county final against Clontibret on Sunday week - the club's 12th in a row - but otherwise might have been invited to take part in this weekend's interprovincial showcase of the Football Review Committee's revolutionary proposals, which include keeping three players in the opposition half at all times, and limits on goalkeepers being involved in possession.

"I'm excited about them," he tells RTÉ Sport. "Yes, there’s an impact on goalkeepers but I’m excited that it’s going to make the game a wee bit better of a spectacle.

"As a player, your main aim is to win the game. You don't care how it looks. You want to play entertaining football but sometimes you’re just not allowed to play it because of the way teams sit back.

"But when you're sitting in a stand or watching it on TV, it’s a very hard game to watch, and you understand why people give out.

"Hopefully, the new rules will make it more entertaining to watch because it is quite boring at the moment.

"I’m looking forward to seeing in Croke Park how it impacts it in a positive way and if there’s any way of making the game a more attractive proposition then we have to try it.
