This is just great to see.
In a tournament that has been marred with hooligan violence, unsportsmanlike behaviour and stewards nearly getting their hands blown off, it’s easy to forget that they are actually people in attendance who are there to have a good time and enjoy the football.
The travelling Irish support have been certainly getting into the right spirit supporting the Boys In Green in France as the endless slew of viral videos emerging from Euro 2016 have shown. The locals have been singing the Irish fans’ praises, with some even going as far to plead with them not to leave after the tournament finishes.

It seems as though the Belgian supporters are pretty damn sound too, judging by this wonderful video sent into us by one of our readers in France.
The clip shows a group of Belgian supporters doing a lovely gesture for a young Irish at a French train station just hours before kick-off in Bordeaux.
Major appreciation for the Belgians, wonderful little gesture for this young Irish girl 👏🏻 #Euro2016 pic.twitter.com/5OpsOwcFIT
