Show a Little Respect
by Patrick O'Connor
IN common with most football grounds recently, Derby County held a minute’s silence before their English League Cup game against Leeds United as a tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for their country.
As a few noisy Leeds latecomers entered the stand, the more senior visiting fans shouted out “Sshhh…..show some respect.”
And respect – or rather the perceived lack of it – was at the heart of a bitter exchange of words in the Rugby League World Cup Group A clash between England and New Zealand in Australia.
