These Irish fans sang a lullaby to a French baby on a train

We might have just hit peak Euro 2016.

THE NOW INTERNATIONALLY famous set of Euro 2016 Ireland fans had a busy weekend – from having the craic with the French police to romantic serenades in the street.

And now a group of fans has taken it to the next level of ridiculous soundness.

They sang a lullaby to a little baba on a Bordeaux train

If you can’t see the video, click here

The footage has blown up online over night, starting from Joe.ie and spreading across the internet to huge soccer Facebook pages and amassing millions of views.

And it’s gone international now too.

“Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are”

twinkle

Needless to say, the baby didn’t actually fall asleep despite the soothing tones, but at least the parents looked like they were enjoying it all.

Excellent.

    How is it staged, would you not quieten yourself around a baby, would you not help an elderly couple change a flat, I’m betting most readers here would do the exact same.
    This fan behaviour from the Irish has being going on since we qualified for our first tournament, it’s only because of technology that we get to witness more stories like these.
    Only the most miserable of people would have a problem with this.

    My favourite part of this whole thing is that the idiots complaining about the articles are reading the articles and adding to its figures so ye only have yourselves to blame.

    Ah the bitterness of lads stuck in Ireland. It’s not like it’s the same bunch of lads doing everything that appears online. This is probably the first viral video any of these lads have been in. Would ye rather it was a video of Irish lads fighting Belgians on a tram or outside a bar? Another case of Irish begrudgery.

    Stop looking down your nose at others ye miserable old sod. Your view is at odds with every major sports publication across Europe who are heaping praise upon these fans.

    Do you go through life seeking vindication from foreign publications?.

    Pscald, “vindication” there is nothing to vindicate, Irish fans have always been good natured. I honestly believe that if the clip had have shown fans singing loudly in the presence of a baby you lot would be on here complaining about how unruly they are, you can’t win with moaners, always looking to be outraged at something.

    Phil, I would suggest if the fans were singing loudly in the presence of a baby this video wouldn’t have made it on here or foreign publications. You really think it would have been covered negatively? Gimme a break

    I just don’t see any harm in it Pscald. Most of these fans are probably in a couple of grand debt from going over so they might as well enjoy it. Even the babies parents are enjoying it and filmed the whole thing.
