    I apologise deeply for some away fans making noise OP. Please forgive the other 45 thousand people in attendance........

    I was just curious, wasn't sure if it was a few people who had drank too much or a few Bosnians of Muslim descent or even a few Irish of Muslim descent. As you say, the vast majority observed the silence

    No need for minute's silence before the match. Events in France nothing to do with Ireland or Bosnia.

    No mention of those murdered in Lebanon the previous day.

    Majority of Bosnian fans clapping Irish team as they passed on 'lap of honour'. Respect!

    I also noticed that the Bosnian players went straight off the pitch after, didn't even bother going down to thank their supporters. Bad form imo

    Maybe to respect the winning home teams celebrations?

    Bosnians are mostly Muslims no surprise they support their brothers in arms.

    Most Irish are Catholic, No surprise we will support the Provo's

    We don't know if alcohol involved. Not very good Muslims if there was.
    I think it was simply a case of a few in Bosnia crowd who could not careless about what happened in France,so they must support the other side..

    There's a thread about the Paris attacks.

    And if you wish to discuss Soccer, there's a Soccer forum for that as well.
