Throw Russia out of the Eurovison?

[Doc Lynam]

Discuss!

 

[Return of the Rev]

I would rather we pulled out in protest!

 

[Mackenzie]

The ultimate sanction. That'll learn 'em.

Anything that gives us more chance of winning. Kick out all the ex Soviet countries and those odd Balkan ones too. I am sure we can find a political reason of some sort.

 

[Pavilionaire]

On the contrary, keep them in - the marking will be a right hoot. If I was a betting man I'd go large on Russia to win Eurovision in 2014. If the Crimea is anything to go by, every Iron Curtain mini-state will be filling their pants and so sure to give the Russkys "douze points".

Interesting idea but you can't legislate for a wild card country like Turkey having a man playing his organ whilst a women dances suggestively infront of him, storming the competition.

Our entrance is horshit from an unknown so we have thrown the towel in before it started.

Russia, 16/1 with Betfred.

It will suffer that fate of all our recent entries,to die on its arse. Dorsey did no better than the unknowns.

I reckon we should send Bucks Fizz over to the Ukraine and threaten a
nationwide tour of the country. Putin and company be out of that country
quicker than it takes to drop a cup of coffee. The downside of course is
that so will half of Ukraine.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Or let Russia win it and on the night invade Russia with every Danny La Rue impersonator from Kemptown to Manchester!

Easy money US - you know it makes sense. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia = 120 points right there without raising a musket, not to mention the western "Iron Curtain" and Balkans.

 

[Superseagull]

If only Eurovision was around in 1914 and 1939. We could have stopped two world wars by threatening to throw Germany out of Eurovision.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Ooohhhhh that would show them. I bet they are really worried now

 

[Scoffers]

I'd rather just abandon the whole show. Waste of time, money and unnecessarily extending Graham Norton's career

I heard it last night, it's proper shite so it will probably do well.

 

[Mackenzie]

I can't be certain, but I have a strong feeling that Putin enjoys a bit of eurovision.....

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Its the ultimate CAMPfest and I mean its not as if Russia like 2 women kissing and men strutting their stuff. Putin (as from the above post) would be devastated.

Still, at least we may not finish bottom......actually, even with Russia being MASSIVE dicks - they could still beat us.

 

[fat old seagull]

That news would devastate Putin......about as much as in 1939 threatening Hitler that we weren't going to eat sausages until he'd left Poland.

mmmmm....I hope I'm not on ze list now.
