Very, very poor form.
While every Irish and Bosnian fan was anxious about the game at the Aviva, last Friday France and Paris suffered a terrorist attack that really put sport into perspective.
129 people lost their lives in Paris, and tonight before Ireland played Bosnia there was due to be a minute’s silence to honour the victims of the tragic incident.
Moment of silence for victims of tragic incident in Paris last Friday now taking place #rip

However just moments after the referee blew his whistle to begin the peaceful remembrance, there was shouts from the away end of the crowd with a hugely negative reaction in the stadium

A minute's silence impeccably ignored by many in the Bosnia end

Sad that some Bosnia fans can't bring themselves to be quiet for a minute to observe a minute's silence for a massacre

Stop the match. Find the idiots interrupting the minute's silence. Use their heads as balls.

Eventually the crowd decided that the idiots could not stay quiet and instead the stadium broke into applause.

So Bosnia fans shout through the minutes silence and the Irish fans boo them and the turn it into an applause to drown them fair play 2 them
