MAYO SURVIVED A real scare in Castlebar this afternoon as they eventually saw off a spirited Fermanagh outfit – but they had a controversial decision to thank for decisively swinging the result in their favour.
Trailing by a point with six minutes remaining, Kevin McLoughlin launched a ball into the square, only for Aidan O’Shea to go down under the challenge of Che Cullen.
Referee Joe McQuillan pointed straight to the spot but replays clearly show there was little or no contact and O’Shea blatantly dived.
Cillian O’Connor converted from the spot and the home side went onto record a 2-14 to 1-12 win and advance to the next round of the qualifiers.
Speaking to RTÉ afterwards, Fermanagh manager Pete McGrath expressed his frustration at the decision. He labelled it as ‘as an incredibly soft penalty’.
It’s fair to say that wasn’t Aidan O’Shea’s finest moment.

i never lost a game of that in my life that Jonah Lomu game, although the most accurate rugby game i have ever played was Rugby world cup 2011 . that was class ..
I’ve read reviews of the RWC 2015 game and it’s supposed to be absolute muck. Not even on a par with 2011 version. One to avoid apparently
They’re like cattle trucks in a shunting yard!
