Rory Beggan Supports New Gaelic Football Rules

Monaghan goalkeeper Rory Beggan is optimistic about the proposed rule changes in Gaelic football, which aim to enhance the sport's entertainment value, acknowledging that current matches can often be 'boring' to watch. The new rules, set to be trialed at Croke Park, include restrictions on goalkeeper involvement in possession and a mandate for teams to maintain three players in each half to combat defensive tactics. Beggan, who is known for his active participation in the attack, believes these changes could lead to a more dynamic and engaging game. He expressed excitement about potential improvements but emphasized the need to see the rules in action before forming a final opinion. As he prepares for a county final with Scotstown, Beggan is keen to witness how these innovations will impact the game positively and hopes they will reduce the prevalence of blanket defenses. Overall, he sees the rule changes as a step towards making Gaelic football more attractive both for players and spectators.
