Football Rules Committee (FRC) chairman Jim Gavin says that further adjustments to the new football rules have been recommended.

The new rule enhancements have been the hot topic of the Allianz Football League, having been introduced since their first round towards the end of January.

Some of the new rules have come under scrutiny from inter-county manager since and, at its 50th meeting last night (Monday), the FRC saw some changes put forwards after discussion.

"There are adjustments. We have made some recommendations,” the former Dublin boss told RTÉ's Morning Ireland.

He added: "We have got feedback from inter-county and club managers, GPA submissions in recent days. It is all welcomed.

"In general, people like what they see. Inter-county managers, they represent 2% of the Games of our Association, but they are a very important stakeholder. They get a shop window for 26 weeks of the year. It's very important to listen to them, but we also listen to the clubs."
