Aidan O’Shea won’t look back as Mayo search for Holy Grail

An aggrieved Aidan O’Shea has dismissed as inaccurate last year’s cutting interview given by former Mayo managers Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes.

In December, the pair spoke to the Irish Independent and made a number of unflattering claims about the 2015 panel, whose vote of no confidence compelled them to step down after one season in charge.

O’Shea was singled out, along with older brother Seamus. The 26-year-old was depicted as a footballer distracted by the trappings that go with the game. It was also mentioned that he sent management an email querying a selection decision.
