Scumbag protestor at the boat race

[will.morris]

Finding it hard to write this without getting myself in trouble from the mods

 

The amount of training these guys put themselves through and the ruthless selection processes, the seat races, the ergo tests, the 4.30am winter morning rows. What a brilliant race until that ... "plonker" ... got involved.

 

As much as I support Cambridge and have raced many times on their waters, its a truely ugly way to win

 

Best wishes to Alex Woods for a speedy recovery

He must of had a wet suit on, I've been in the thames during a race at this time of year. Not a nice place to be

 

 

Wonder how long his 'fifteen minutes' will last

How very dare you sir. I'm not a toff, don't you know

 

A fancy dress raft race sounds like fun, maybe we could set one up on the Clyde.

'Scumgbag' is a bit strong! More suited to thiefs, rapists and the like... It's only a posh uni boat race...and they still finished the race afterwards.
