who saw a protest go by.

IFA to 'work closely' with NI fans after anti-Palestine chants

THE Irish Football Association say they will continue to work with supporters' clubs and police after an abusive chant from Northern Ireland fans towards a pro-Palestine march.

​Footage appeared on social media showing a group of fans outside a bar at the weekend ahead of Sunday's game in Cologne against Germany.
...
When asked about the fans' behaviour an Irish FA spokesperson said: “We continue to work closely with the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporters Clubs and the police to encourage fans to uphold a respectful, inclusive environment and ethos at both home and away fixtures.

“Our new campaign, ‘Our Reputation is Shaped by Every Voice’, reflects our ongoing commitment to these values, which we will continue to endorse going forward.”

Odd Russian YouTube channel, too. It's not as if a Russian channel has much to do with Northern Ireland, Germany, Palestine or football.

Drunken ramblings from soccer hooligans can be brutal at times. You think this was planned or spontaneous? I want to hate this so bad, but it is kind of catchy. Really appreciate this OP, now it is going to be stuck in my head all day.

It was stuck in my head all day too. It's a parody of "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain When She Comes."

They might just be anti-immigration. Ireland has some very liberal asylum laws, but anti-refugee sentiment has been rising.

The other factor is that many (even some asylum supporters) somehow get upset when people are granted asylum and welcomed into the country, yet decide to protest. See Mahmoud Khalil here in the US.
