Small minority of Bosnian fans inside the AVIVA Stadium ejected for shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the minute silence. Absolute disgrace. — Simon Rowntree (@Simon_Rowntree) November 16, 2015

A minutes silence is a powerful expression of grief and mourning, #Bosnia fans had no right to disrespect it. #IREvBOS — Antoin Fletcher (@Antoinfletch) November 16, 2015
