Irish fans will not rest until they get every baby in France to sleep by dark.

The behaviour of the Republic of Ireland's supporters at Euro 2016 has made headlines the world over and while certain curmudgeons are getting sick of it, it would take a special kind of crank not to enjoy this. In Bordeaux, the location of Ireland's second Group E game, a group of kindly fans were on a train and grew brilliantly concerned about the well-being of a baby who was understandably wide awake before they wrapped the adorable youngster up in the tricolour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Bp7vWvN1c The supporters broke into a rendition of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to try to get the toddler off but were rudely interrupted by some rowdier fans who had just entered the carriage. A burst of 'Hush, Little Baby' followed and as some less concerned people on the carriage began uttering some less baby-friendly chants, they were told to shut up or face the consequences. How do you not love the Irish?
