Under fire Aidan O'Shea posts heartfelt message to Mayo supporters after All-Ireland final loss

Aidan O'Shea isn't hiding from the naysayers.

The Mayo forward has been subjected to heavy criticism from some since the All-Ireland final replay loss to Dublin, and being nominated for an All Star last week. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/785225366189244420 Some of the criticism has bordered on abuse, as if contending with the one-point loss to Dublin wasn't enough for the 26-year-old. However, O'Shea isn't hiding from his critics. The Breaffy captain posted a heartfelt message on Monday evening, thanking the people of Mayo for their support and vowed to keep working towards the county's "ultimate goal."

Back to the reality of Life today. Tough Days & more to come but proud to be from Mayo & we as a group will Continue to 'Chop Wood & Carry water' in search of our ultimate goal. Thanks for all the messages of support. #mayogaa
