Have been listening to coverage of tonight's match all week on the news channels/radio - it was pretty much impossible to avoid hearing about the match and the foundation. To be honest, I don't see why it merited so much coverage.
The murder of Michael McAreevy was a tragedy for her family and friends. And she seems to have been a good and popular person. I doubt very much that her name and face will be forgotten by many who have lived through the murder and trial, it's been in the news regularly. Is that not enough to keep her memory alive?
Fair play to those who gave up their time to play the game as a tribute to her. I guess what got my back up is that there is yet another personal charity/foundation www.themichaelafoundation.com which will benefit from the game. At a time when charity incomes have gone into freefall, do we really need yet another charity to dilute the pool further? Surely there was a charity Michaela supported, why does she need her own?
