I'd select MacAuley over either of the O'Shea's in a heartbeat.

Well you'd have to The O'Sheas are not eligible to play for Dublin!

Aye.

[yellowcard]

I remember seeing O Shea in an AI minor final defeat against Tyrone (think it went to a replay) and he was the standout player on the pitch in both games. However this was largely due to his size and direct running. His progress had been slow coming out of minor (or at least I never noticed him much) but he seems to have trimmed down a lot in the last year or two and looks more mobile now than he did when he first arrived on the scene. It really was an exceptional performance by him on Sunday, but he will find it harder to dominate in the air in the next 2 games particularly since Tyrone and Dublin don't like belting the ball out long to midfield catchers.

A magnificent exhibition of midfield play by Aidan O'Shea last Sunday.  I'm sure it will stick in the minds of Mayo supporters, indeed all gaelic football fans, for years to come. Willie Joe Padden is remembered with great fondness for such displays.

What do O'Shea score on Sunday??? 0-0 
Yes he had a good game, but to say it was "Possibly the best individual performance I've ever seen in Croke Park" - I suggest Hardy you should get out a bit more.

I can suggest two better performances of the top of my head, Cavanagh against Meath and Cavanagh  against Monaghan in the past two weeks alone.  Or Canavan scoring 0-11 against Dublin in 95 AIF.

Any non-Tyrone players do any good?

It's your opinion and you are entitled to have it but I haven't come across any other individual yet, on two legs or four, who agrees with you.

Honestly, didn't mean it that way. Actually, I was thinking of a particular jackass (not Enda Kenny) at the time.

Enda doesn't look happy about the implication.

Obviously when people are raving about AOS, they mean to say "Not counting every midfield performance ever by every Tyrone player, this was the best midfield performance at Croke Park."  It's just that's a bit much to type every time.

Most would have seen Kyle Coney as the stand out player.

As for the weekend, he played well but Cavanaghs play from midfield over the past 2 weeks has been unbelievable.
