Niall Morgan - New rules can make Gaelic football 'manic and frantic' again

The Tyrone shot-stopper impressed for Ulster last night at Croke Park, and the goalkeeper has now given his thoughts on the new rules.

Tyrone star Morgan was between the posts for Ulster in last night’s victory over Munster at Croke Park as the Football Review Committee (FRC) rule changes went on trial.

“We seen from the game earlier how it can get frantic and a little bit manic in our game,” said Morgan. “That’s the word we are using at the minute.

“Players are going to have learn and learn very quickly if this is going to come in.

“It seems they are going in no matter what, so we are going to have to get used to it.

“The game did have to change. There’s no doubt about it. We had to make it a little bit more exciting.

“They were going back to the keeper too much and as players we are going to have to get used to it and that’s the way it is.”
