Barely gets talked about in the thread before and during the show, but once the votes get announced, the Brits have to come up with a reason they done shite!

These conspiracy theories are all too much, more than last year! My f**king god, please keep going!

Because it's never a major thought until we have to come up with an excuse as to why "our boy" lost.

[-pogo-]

We deserved to be near or at the bottom. Show me one post that says otherwise.

All we are saying is that other countries that deserved to do shit did well. And that a country that deserved to do okay walked away with it.

None of us really care... We was just pointing out facts you want to argue against

We all accept it was a crap song!! It just wasn't the worse... Surely you agree given the Spain entry

They aren't fact, it's Brit mentality and rhetoric.

Wait until England get knocked out of the World Cup, and see the reasons that get used for it.

Watch when Murray looses a tennis tournament, and see the reasons that get used for it.

How can you give a well rounded view from less than a dozen Brits talking on a predominantly British festivals forum?

It's different with Murray. We don't come up with excuses, we just start referring to him as Scottish again.

[oafc0000]

oi, shut it you! hope usa pump ye's

[ampersand]

That's the excuse!!!!!

And it's not abou saying the UK should of won, it's trying to give reason as to why the UK did so badly. To be fair to my ears, it was by far one of the most forgettable songs of the night.

I'm a Eurovision addict. We had a twitter party tonight! It was amazing fun!!!

[-pogo-]

but why did germany win by so much? stand out song?

[philipsteak]

I can't believe I'm getting involved in a Eurovison thread, but anyway...

Its not just a British thing Pogo (not that it even seemed to happening in here anyway). A lot of countries do it. Look at the Ireland-France game. Yes it was a truly awful decision and its totally understandable why people were so angry about it, but as some sane people pointed out, theres more to a game of football than that and if Ireland had taken chances earlier in the game then it wouldn't have mattered. Still felt better to blame Henry and the ref though. Another example is the last RWC. A lot of people here blamed the ref for the All Blacks getting knocked out. Again, some dodgy decision making but also the fact that they had a not very good tournament and really underperformed.

The UK song was shite. I didn't like Germany! I was fully behind Greece. Loved it!!!
