It may be a bit niggly so far but Mayo vs Dublin is certainly living up to the hype in terms of pure intensity. Dublin have had the better of the opening twenty minutes but you could also say they've had the better of the referee's decisions.
We've already seen that penalty decision that went their way but you could also say that Johnny Cooper is very lucky to still be on the field after this tackle on Diarmuid O’Connor.
The small sampling of opinion so far would suggest that Cooper is a lucky man to be going into the second half.
That should have been a red too. Johnny Cooper knew exactly what he was doing

Dangerous play by Jonny Cooper. He should have seen red. #GAA
