Life is often about difficult choices.
So spare a thought then for members of the Ibrox klanbase in Narne Arne.
Now they can travel to see the Old Firm in European action or prevent a Sinn Féin First Minister?
That is the awful dilemma for members of the Ibrox klanbase in the northeast of this country.
May 5th is the date of elections in the Pravince.
Many pollsters are confidently tipping that Micelle O’Neill of Sinn Féin will be in line to be First Minister.
Dear reader, this is an appalling vista for many within unionism.
No more so than those who regularly decant from this island to Fair Caledonia to watch the basket of assets at Ibrox.
So their sense of entitlement kicks in and they demand to have both!
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph Chief electoral officer for Northern Ireland Virginia McVea said:
“There would only be one or two cases every year where special circumstances are used. They are reserved for those people who may have surgeries rescheduled for polling day and those are obviously cases where an allowance has to be made.
“But, unfortunately, we can’t change legislation for one group otherwise others would come forward seeking the same. There have to be rules and in this case it’s not possible to make late allowances.”
What Ms McVea might not be aware of is that the folks who gravitate towards Ibrox tend to think that rules, in general, don’t apply to them.

A Sinn Fein First Minister for the 6 Provinces…..I never thought i would even see the prospect in my lifetime. The sheer horror for them. That would be a day of days…she,s an Irish Colleen, and formidable, i hope enough march with her to carry the day.
Six counties mate. There’s in Ulster nine in all – Armagh, Antrim, Donegal, here’s to Cavan and to Derry and Tyrone. Through Fermanagh, Monaghan, Down we’ll throw out the puppet crown until Ireland’s 32 are all our own.
My apologies…shouldnt really post ..half pissed at 1am…cheers
Those poor dogs!
I just hope they’re alright after the trauma of being in amongst that scum and hope they get anti-tetanus (and any other anti-virals) as make no mistake, that shower is as bad a virus as any to hit this planet so far.
My thoughts are with Virginia McVea who, no doubt, is being added to the list and faces the Wrath of Klan.
I do commend her foresight, as my Proxy deadline in London isn’t until next week, which would’ve allowed plenty of time for Ibrox Proxy voting to be lined up.
