There was a disappointing disruption of the minute’s silence for the victims of the Paris attacks at the Aviva Stadium tonight.
Ireland and Bosnia players alike are wearing black armbands but it’s been reported that a small number of away fans at the Havelock Square End shouted throughout the 60 seconds of silence.
That was followed by attempts by their own fans to shush them, with Irish fans then booing the commotion.
Applause eventually broke out as the majority made their sympathy heard above the noise.
Sad that some Bosnia fans can't bring themselves to be quiet for a minute to observe a minute's silence for a massacre

Vile behaviour by Bosnia fans as they wreck the minute's silence for #Paris. I hope they have nothing to cheer tonight. #IREvBOS #Dublin

That moment of silence before the Ireland-Bosnia and Herzegovina match was hard to watch. Some fans just can't be respectful.

Very disrespectful by the Bosnia fans to disturb the minute silence at the Aviva.

You'd like to think those who couldn't stay quiet for 60 seconds as a mark of respect can't count....somehow I doubt it
