I don't know how to post photos here and it's not really the done thing here, is it? Anyway, I've put a few pictures on Facebook from the one minute's silence in Armagh last night, which was impeccably observed for Michael, and very appropriate considering he was an Armagh man. I succeeded Michael at the Irish News back in the day and they were big boots to fill. He WAS the Irish News GAA coverage before that, not like today when you have several reporters. He had a very matter-of-fact and ethical style to his reporting. There wasn't any dressing up of stories with silly stuff, just straightforward writing. He moved to the Sunday Life when it started up but I don't think he liked it much there. There was rarely any GAA on the back page and his pages were shunted nearly into the middle of the newspaper just before the ads, and probably still are. After I joined the IN, Michael was always a source of encouragement and fun. When we met up, he would complain about this and that, as journos do, but he would always finish by saying with a big smile and a laugh 'but we mustn't grumble'!

See some of the mayhem from tonight in this one-minute video..

Who says Joe doesn't have a sense of humour? How did he keep a straight face while also referencing The Simpsons, The Godfather, Gweedore and Fergal Logan all in 90 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7u81xaYSXo
