Boat Race Drama!

Bungle73 · 7th April 2012, 14:02

First they had to stop the race because of some idiot in the water. Now Oxford have ended up with a broken oar in a clash. Nothing to stop Cambridge winning now.

Why is it always Oxford v Cambridge in the final? Areall the other crews simply too bad?

Bungle73 · 7th April 2012, 14:10

LOL!

Oxford not very happy.

oar dear

That protester must have had some balls though

Do we know why he was protesting or are we told to believe that he's wrong regardless?

I'm sure it will come out sooner or later. Whatever he was "protesting" about the guy's a prat, and was lucky to be not seriously injured, or even killed.

SS4 · 7th April 2012, 14:17

Unless he's "silenced". I'd rather find out what the cause was before judging

Of course he's wrong to interrupt the race I don't care what he's protesting he has no business doing what he did. It's the same as a streaker at football only even worse than that because it's ruined the entire thing whilst that just holds things up for a few minutes.

BBC report HERE .
I'm surprised the prat escaped getting his head taken off by the oars.

ainsworth74 · 7th April 2012, 14:24

Some good news on the Oxford rower he is apparently conscious and sitting up in the rescue boat at this point.

Silenced how? What's to stop him saying whatever he wants to the media once he's been processed by the authorities?

Nothing at all. Silenced as in the media will choose not to report it, doctor his words or portray him as crazy

If you say so......

There seems to be an interesting conspiracy theory being constructed here. So he's likely to be hushed up by Them? If he'd tried to jump out in front of the Queen or mr. D. Cameroon, there might be some sort of Secret agenda, perhaps, but it's a bit imaginative to speculate something along those lines just yet. Maybe he's from that Fathers 4 Justice outifit that tie themselves to bridges from time to time.
