C’mon guys, it’s been a decent debate in the footie thread. If it’s not something you’re interested in scroll on by or offer an alternative.

Can you get an infraction for being boring
Not you btw
Dress code thread, now that is boring
EV thread trumps that.

A bit late and no help, but co op do one for those who had current account at 4.5% take out as much and as many times with no penalty

What we should do is not enter it but still show it on BBC 8. And I used to be a big fan. This years effort was shockingly bad. The BBC presenters are shite at it also.

But we would still be paying for it….and we shouldn’t. It’s always been the same voting for your best friend/neighbour but those countries do not pay into the pot

for some reason over the years millions have watched for multiple reasons from enjoying the show to laughing at the acts and then laughing at the voting
Even back in the 80’s neighbours voted for each and it was funny
I don’t think many take it serious now but it’s a bit of light entertainment during a world surrounded by negativity and doom
The viewing figures dropped this year but still 8mil watched it

Funny how we always blame neighbour voting and the fact no one likes us when we do poorly, but when we put someone with actual talent in for it (Sam Ryder) he near enough won the thing, but for a pity vote for Ukraine. Maybe we just shouldn't bother entering if we can't get anyone good to do it.

I'll be honest, I think that we got more votes that year as a result of our support for Ukraine. It's all political now anyway. I haven't watched it for years. I have no idea why we continue to fund it just to be humiliated.

Doesn't that mean about 50 million didn't watch it?

How many TV shows get 8 million viewers these days..?
I don't know but I suspect not many.
It's a pile of poo but if that many people are going to watch it there's an argument that the BBC have to show it.

That’s about the crux of the matter
8mil is very much at the high end of the scale of viewers

Agreed, but also as it was a given Ukraine would win countries could vote for Sam in the safe knowledge the UK wouldn't actually win...

Yep much like that albeit "if it's a winner it must be out" was nearer the truth.
