Last night's Mayo v Dublin preview on Off The Ball was more of a Mayo love-in as James Horan and David Brady held court.

But tonight, a former Dublin star got his say on the hotly anticipated All-Ireland semi-final.

Tomas 'Mossy' Quinn joined Adrian in studio and feels that talk of Dublin not being tested adequately in the championship so far may be over-stated.

"The fact that they haven't played a Top 6 side in the championship means the question hasn't been asked of them. It'll be a challenge for them in the sense that they'll have learned - I don't by into the idea that they haven't had a test yet - in the sense that good teams will learn even if you win the game by 10-15 points," said Mossy.

"You can learn a lot from that game, not as much as if you beat a Top 6 team by two points in a 74-minute nail-biter. But you can still learn and the good coaches and the good players will be able to critique themselves and while it could be argued that Mayo will get more out of beating Donegal in the previous round than Dublin will out of Fermanagh, those last 15 minutes will bother Dublin in terms of their level of performance."
