RTE GAA pundits in disagreement over ‘work in progress’ rule change after teams exploit loophole in Allianz League

THE issue of fly goalkeepers was the topic of debate on the first instalment of Allianz League Sunday of the new season.

This past weekend’s games saw the debut of a number of changes to how gaelic football will be played going forward.

One that inspired conversation was the 3Up-3Back rule, which stipulates that each team must have at least three outfield players in the opposition half at all times.

The qualification of those players needing to be “outfield” conjured a loophole which many were happy to exploit.

They did so by pushing their goalkeepers forward, creating a 12v11 scenario.

On Allianz League Sunday on RTE, pundits Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Ciaran Whelan debated the potential pitfalls of the rule.

And the former Dublin footballer argued that the ability for teams to push the goalkeeper up meant that the change was not getting the desired outcome.

Whelan said: “There is that risk of bringing your keeper up and I think possibly nearly every keeper at the weekend came up and we got old patterns of play on a smaller scale where there was that dead zone between the midfield and the forward line.

“A lot of that has to do with the teams sit back. Teams don’t push out but even when the game goes on due to fatigue, I think naturally people drop off.

“We had a lot of teams keeping possession, going back and forth. It doesn’t give the defence the opportunity to go man to man which might be one of the objectives we are trying to see.

“Every keeper came up and I know and accept that it is a risk bringing your keeper up but I think there is a lot more of an advantage in coming up because it still takes a bit of work to execute.

“I am not too sure whether it leads to the objective we are trying to get and I think it is a work in progress because it is creating that environment where teams are keeping possession.”

There was one prominent instance of the 12v11 being exploited at the other end.

In the 58th minute of Roscommon‘s win over Down in Division 2, Colm Neary made a block down and prompted a rapid counter-attack.

With Down’s goalkeeper caught up the field, Ciarain Murtagh made them pay with a long range shot that went into the empty net.

Eamonn FItzmaurice is a member of the Jim Gavin-chaired Football Review Committee which came up with the changes.

And asked if the 3Up-3Back rule was one the FRC would have to hang onto, the Kerryman responded: “It’s not a case of hanging on to.

“It is a case of let’s see how it plays out. We saw examples over the first weekend of exactly what Ciaran showed, that dead zone, possession play that no one wants to see.

“It is incentivizing teams to push up on the opposition half. We saw an example where Roscommon did that.

“We saw int he Dublin-Mayo game where both teams went man for man a lot.

“The keepers still did come up but it was more in an attacking sense to try and score rather than possession based game.

“I get the complaints, I get the reasons why people might be dissatisfied with it.

“You are trying to balance the innovations in the game and the traditions that people want to see as well.

“It is only weekend one so let’s see how it plays out.”

Star of huge 90s popband reveals they missed out on iconic EastEnders role before finding global fame

A GLOBAL pop star has revealed they were just weeks away from having a very different celebrity career.

Emma Bunton is best known as Baby Spice from the 90s mega girl group, The Spice Girls, but she very nearly bagged herself a role in soap land that could have changed the course of pop history.

The Wannabe icon had always wanted to be on stage and screen but before singing became her passion, Emma pursued an acting career.  

Keen to one day become a household name, Emma joined the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School.

She had some success and managed to land a minor role in the ITV police drama The Bill in 1993 and she was cast as a prostitute in the BBC drama To Play the King.

But it was Albert Square that almost gave Emma the big break that she’d been hoping for.

Back in 1992 the Heart Radio presenter had appeared briefly in Walford as a criminal, attempting to mug pensioner Jules.

Producers were keen to see more of Emma though, and they invited her to audition for a new character they were going to introduce called Bianca.

Emma tried out, got through the initial screenings and down to the last four hopefuls for the soon to be legendary part.

It wasn’t meant to be though and BBC bosses decided Patsy Palmer would be better suited to play the fiery market trader.

This fateful rejection left the door open to other opportunities and it was only a few weeks later when Emma was asked to sing for the managers of a new girl group.

She said in an interview with Guardian Guide back in 2019, which was then reprinted in journalist Michael Cragg’s book Reach For The Stars: “I’d just missed out on playing Bianca in EastEnders. I was down to the last four.

“So I’d just found out about that and I was devastated. I was at college and a singing teacher asked if I’d ever thought of being in a band.

“She said, ‘Well I’m working with some girls and one of them wants to go back to uni so they’re looking for another girl’.

“She told me to go and meet these two managers, I sang for them and they asked me when I could move in with the girls.”

These were, of course, the Spice Girls and Emma was catapulted into global stardom as part of one of the most successful pop groups of all time.

EastEnders' 40th anniversary cameos so far

With the 40th anniversary of EastEnders coming up, fans are looking forward to some more incredible cameos from iconic faces of Walford's past. But who have we had so far?

Tracy-Ann Oberman – Oberman returned as Chrissie Watts, a character she last played nearly two decades ago.

Paul Bradley – Bradley returned as Nigel Bates, a character he last played over 25 years ago.

Micheal French – French returned as David Wicks, a character he last played two decades ago.

Patsy Palmer – Palmer returned as Bianca Jackson, a character she last played in 2019.

Coming up this year…

Ross Kemp – Kemp will reprise his role as Grant Mitchell, a character he first played in 1990. The BBC has described Kemp’s storyline as “explosive”. Kemp said it was an “absolute honour” to return to the show.

Other aspects of the 40th anniversary celebration include: A wedding between fan favorites, A huge explosion at the Queen Vic, and A live interactive episode.

Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the group’s debut single, Wannabe, and The Sun recently revealed that plans for a landmark Netflix drama of their story has been put into jeopardy.

The streamer has failed to get every member of the group on board with the project but it seems that they have now decided to go ahead with, or without them.
