Peter Canavan has reiterated his view that the new rules are having a positive impact on football.

Speaking to 2fm’s Game On after observing the first two rounds of the Allianz League, the Tyrone legend and new FRC member enthused: "The new rules are a dream for innovative coaches and a nightmare for those coaches trying to spoil a game.

"In previous years it was easy for the spoilers, easy for a manager to set a team up whereby you spoil the game, you give up kickouts, and it's a dreadful game to watch.

"Now it's impossible to do that; it's very hard to try and slow the game up. When you commit a foul you can't stand in front of the ball, the tap and go has things moving much quicker. The net result has been a much better game to watch."
