Northern Ireland fans' 'we hate Catholics' song slammed by IFA

A video emerged on social media last night appearing to show Northern Ireland supporters in a Belfast bar singing sectarian songs. The official Northern Ireland team twitter account responded to a posting of the video on twitter saying "this is utterly wrong and we condemn sectarianism in any form". The video shows a number of people dressed in Northern Ireland replica shirts singing "we hate Catholics, we hate Roman Catholics" to the tune of Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now'. It is unclear when exactly the footage is from with some claiming that the video is old others have suggested it was from before or after Sunday's match. From some of the shirts in the video we can tell that they are the 2018/19 season. Stephen got reaction from sports journalist Steven Beacom and DUP MLA Jim Wells called the programme about it.
