Why the different treatment for Linfield?

Statement by TUV party secretary Ron McDonwell:

“Once again it seems that Linfield are to be treated differently to all other NIFL teams. A match scheduled for Easter Tuesday has now been moved to accommodate a visit from President Biden. The NIFL and PSNI have stated that due to operational commitments they cannot provide the manpower to oversee the Linfield match, however they have been able to find the manpower to oversee the two other matches being played within a three mile radius of Windsor Park.

“The PSNI and NIFL have so far refused to afford Linfield the opportunity to discuss this issue which will prove a problem to the team and fans alike.

“You won’t know if from the media hype but frankly I expect there are many people who will be much more interested in the football than anything the US President says.”
