Shortly before kick-off in Ireland and Bosnia's Euro 2016 playoff second leg, a minute's silence was held for those who lost their lives during Friday night's tragic events in Paris.

Shouts, apparently coming from a small number of Bosnian fans, could be heard early during the silence.

This was followed by boos - directed at the dissenting Bosnians - from Irish supporters.

In the end, applause broke out to mask the undesired noise.

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 — Rachel Wyse (@RACHEL_WYSE) November 16, 2015


Sad that some Bosnia fans can't bring themselves to be quiet for a minute to observe a minute's silence for a massacre — James Ducker (@DuckerTheTimes) November 16, 2015

French press have picked up on the regrettable shouts during minute's silence at the Lansdowne Aviva but have identified origins as Bosnian — Katie Dawson (@katiedawson23) November 16, 2015

You would hope the people that ruined that minutes silence would be removed from the stadium #Idiots — Cian Hogan (@CianHogan1) November 16, 2015


Disgraceful scenes in Dublin as Bosnia fans refused to observe the minute's silence for those who died in Paris #COYBIG — TonyIncenzoTalkSPORT (@TonyIncenzo) November 16, 2015

Pity Bosnian fans could not keep the minute silence... You would think they would know better... #COYBIG #IREvBOS — Mick O'Keeffe (@okmick) November 16, 2015
