A facebook post by the PSNI sparked anger amongst football fans yesterday. The PSNI's North Coast account posted a message in relation to the cancelled Danske Bank Premiership match at Coleraine Showgrounds yesterday. But as well as announcing the cancellation the post went on to warn fans that police would still be on duty 'especially for any fans who may think to engage in other activity'. The PSNI say the post was aimed at a "small minority" of people who have been engaged in anti-social behaviour in the past. Vinny spoke to sports journalist Keith Bailie.
