Did Aidan O’Shea dive to win a penalty for Mayo against Fermanagh?
The masses on Twitter appear to think he did, and weren’t shy about venting their fury towards the Mayo star.
In the dying minutes of a tense game at MacHale Park, with Fermanagh leading by a point, O’Shea went to ground after appearing to have his jersey pulled.
The referee whistled for a penalty, and Cillian O’Connor dispatched it. Mayo went on to win. Fermanagh’s Championship is over.
Was this a penalty for Mayo? Cillian O'Connor has converted it, regardless of the controversy. @rteone now. https://t.co/2mhbDJIPfY

However, people on Twitter were not happy at all with O’Shea, deeming him to have bought the foul by going to ground too easily.
If that's a penalty, should be 10 in every game.

Ridiculous dive by Aidan O'Shea. They're trying to justify it just like they do with Ulster players. Bollocks. #GAA @RTEsport

Back in the day a red card meant players weren't eligible for an All-Star. Should do something similar now with divers like Aidan O'Shea
