"That was as much impact as both Aidan O'Shea and Philly McMahon had on the game, was right at the end."I think in the first half of extra time, he found his black cards, and he had obviously settled himself and tried to redress the balance as best as he could." In fairness to the Crossmaglen native, neither of the two mentioned really got into the game. O'Shea had a nightmare first half, struggling to get involved and even missed a very easy set-piece that he normally would kick over with his eyes closed. This resulted in him being subbed early in the second half. McMahon was brought on with just a few minutes of normal time to go, no doubt to try and steady the ship and use his experience to help see Dublin get over the line. However, it could be argued that he had the opposite effect, riling up the Mayo players, getting involved with pushing and shoving matches, and ultimately not being able to stop Mayo's late barrage of attacks."At that stage, Conor Lane (referee) had completely lost it. He needed to get off the pitch, somebody needed to have a chat with him.
