Best of luck Michael!
WHAT!!! A woman is taking over a sports show.
Jokes aside… best of luck to Michael and to Joanne in the new role. Overheard some auld lads at City West Hotel after the Limerick match commending Michael for his service over the years, and in the same breath marveling at Joanne’s work-rate and how she will be a worthy successor.
Why is it man v woman, why so pc. ML did a great job for 30 odd years. I’m sure JC can do the same.
