The Irish Football Association has condemned a video containing Northern Ireland fans singing "we hate Catholics".
It comes after the video circulated on social media on Monday evening.
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.
The official Northern Ireland teams account responded to a posting of the video on Twitter saying "this is utterly wrong and we condemn sectarianism in any form".

Anybody else see this?
I attended both games on Thursday and Sunday with some Catholic friends.
I know for a fact that this does not represent those that actually go to Windsor and can bet you anything the pricks in the video never even went to the game.
Trying to undo all the good work we as a country have done over the last 15 years or so regarding a cross community National team.
Your confusing the IFA and FAI mate.Utterly embarrassing. Wish they'd GTF.
However the IFA can GTF too.
I'll take no moral guidance from an organisation who's Chief Executive sings songs in support of ira murderes and who operate a sectarian policy of stealing RC players from Northern Irleand.
Nightmare. Folk who video these events need their balls booted.There’s a guy in the video who works in the office where I work and I’d say he’s starting to panic. Everyone has seen it and it’s all over the news.
here we go again lolSongs like that will bring in 'strict liability'

I hate the religion but the people that practice it don’t bother me per sayA song that is actually sectarian and offensive to hundreds of millions. I hate Celtic, I hate IRA sympathisers, and I hate faux-irishness. But I do not hate people because of their religion.
A ban for life for singing a song?Idiots that sing this song should be banned for life, simple as that.
Aye you said that
And rightly soAnd my comment got deleted

How can that song be defended, it's out and out bigotryhere we go again lol
And rightly so
bigodite?How can that song be defended, it's out and out bigotry
They’re in their own company doing it, anyone that gets offended by a song has a shit life and needs to have a look at themselves imoNonsense. Imagine it was a group of Celtic fans having a party singing we hate proddies. They'd be called a whole lot worse. There is no difference - it's just reveling in hatred and bigotry, and that is the past time of a scumbag
We have this temper on here to attack our own rather than the enemyNonsense. Imagine it was a group of Celtic fans having a party singing we hate proddies. They'd be called a whole lot worse. There is no difference - it's just reveling in hatred and bigotry, and that is the past time of a scumbag
Tiffany's was a cover version , the original was by Tommy James & The Shondells , however this latest 'version' needs binned right now.

Have a day off mate.
The people who were doing monkey noises at the England players in Montenegro last night are scum. A group of pissed up people having a sing song in a boozer (that some idiot decided to plaster all over social media) are daft but not scum.
There's legit no difference. Its just sheer bigotry
It's a song. Grow up.
I find it utterly hilarious"
I find it utterly hilarious that I'm the one who has to grow up when the topic of discussion is grown men singing a cheesy 80s love song and changing the words to "we hate catholics"
well you are moaning quiet a lot about it, you would think your losing money every time we or others sing it .
well.......they probably do hate proddies or British imperialists as they think of us.Nope, just losing respect for anyone who "partakes". Again, find it very odd I'm the one getting pelters here when a guy on this very thread said there are times it is "lovely".
And it's not just the song in isolation is it? It's not some off the cuff thing, it stems from a legitimate searing hatred of catholics. Again, if this was a group of ROI fans singing we hate Proddies, there would be far, far worse said on here than I'm saying.
The IFA are Northern Irelands governing body, I think they are well within their right to offer moral guidance to fans of theirs singing this pish
Utterly embarrassing. Wish they'd GTF.
