The wife of Northern Ireland defender Corry Evans has apologised - after she posted a racist tweet about the Romanian referee in last night’s play-off defeat to Switzerland.
Ovidiu Hategan awarded a penalty for handball in their 1-0 loss, a decision that has been widely criticised.
Lisa Evans says she let her emotions take over - and would never condone racism.
The original tweet from Evans’s account read: “Romanian gypsy c*nt!!! And to actually think Northern Ireland has probably homed one of his smelly relatives!! Ungrateful twát!! Anyway onwards and upwards. #GAWA”.
The tweet was deleted and her account was briefly taken down.
No idea what GAWA means
