Dignified, peaceful protest or disrespecting the British national anthem? At Saturday's Irish Cup Final, Cliftonville's players bowed their heads in protest at the decision to play the God Save the Queen. The game, which Coleraine won 3-1, was already in controversy after the IFA decision to refuse a request from Cliftonville not to play the British national anthem before the final. That was a u-turn from 2013 when Cliftonville were also playing in the Irish Cup Final and the IFA decided then there would be no anthem. Vinny spoke to commentators Chris Donnelly and Jamie Bryson.
