Aidan O'Shea has claimed he was headbutted by Philly McMahon in today's drawn All-Ireland SFC semi-final.

The 41st minute incident wasn't spotted by referee Joe McQuillan or his linesman, but was picked up by the TV cameras. The CCCC are likely to use this footage if they decide to propose a retrospective ban for the Dublin defender.

Yeah, I was headbutted alright, but thats not for me to enforce the rules of the game, O'Shea said in the Irish Times.

There were plenty more things out there the ref missed too.

The Mayo full forward added: "The referee, Joe, I thought he had a fairly good game for the most part. You are not going to get everything right.

Meanwhile, Donal Vaughan is hopeful of figuring in the replay after he was forced off in the first half with an AC joint injury.

I wont rule it out, he said.

I know Henry Shefflin got back fairly quickly before. I know he didnt last too long when he did get back. We have a fantastic medical team. I will give myself every chance.
