The Golden Greats in the Centurians Club
July 17 2009
As George Smith closes in on his centurion game of Test rugby, Australian fans could be forgiven for forgetting just how difficult it is to accumulate so many Test appearances in a national jersey.
Australians certainly don’t have a reputation as chip-on-their-shoulder, lager abusing oafs – do they? No, they don’t.
West Ham vs Millwall, an insiders story (48)

G-Rilla, a Roarer mentioned a Cass Pennant penned article in The Guardian which suggested that the police may have been reluctant to steam in due to the events of the G20. I think there’s probably an element of truth to that. Conversely, the scenes of the West Ham fans fighting with the stewards in the corner did not tell the full story. At one point the riot police steamed in and I saw countless people with smashed, bloodied craniums tottering about the paddock. I didn’t see that replayed on Sky. Outside the stadium a lot of the riot police seemed genuinely intimidated. Pennant also mentioned that complacency may have been an issue with the authorities. That is probably true as well.

I have a friend down the pub (Good ol’ Patricks) who is a top, top forensic guy at the Metropolitan Po Po. Anyway, he used to be a bookmaker and he is always quids in. He really does know his stuff. His biggest tip of the season is Rotherham.
Giteau isn’t a bad call for first try scorer, but I gave up on specific rugby bets a long time ago (Around WC 07, I think). The money is always there to be made on the handicap.
