And part of it is because the crowds have no segregation. Home and away fans are mixed together in all parts of the ground, they generally get along fine. Also I've heard kickers say that silence is worse than booing anyway because it builds tension more.

The thing that annoys me about Irish fans is the almost constant booing of refereeing decisions that go against the home team.
There's no segregation in the NFL...
