Dublin defender Philly McMahon says he has not watched Aidan O'Shea play a single game this year.

McMahon is set to come up against the Mayo stalwart, who has been a colossus at full-forward this summer, when Dublin take on the Connacht champions in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final on August 30th and the Ballymun Kickhams star seems unfazed by the prospect.

"I haven't seen Aidan O'Shea playing this year," McMahon said at the launch of a new certificate in Dual Career Development by Griffith College in consultation with the Irish Institute of Sport.

"We just have to look after ourselves. We're confident in the players we have in our full-back line, me being one of them.

"I'd like to think I'm competent to mark whoever I'm up against. We look after ourselves and what we do in terms of our preparation.

"And we look at all the different ways and systems that we'll be coming up against. That's all we can do, if we start looking at anyone else, we could lose our own focus.

"The next couple of weeks will be about what I can do personally and what I will possibly come up against."
