Where are you going,  
With a man on your back,  
like a train in the night,  
Like a train in the night…  
Yes,  
Ireland got relegated from the Eurovision. We are the most successful nation in the contest, and we get relegated.  
But thats what you get for releasing the tripe that we entered this year. we entirely deserved to lose.

It seems that the cost of winning is outweighing the plaudits.

But it makes for good television seeing every country trying to lose.

Amazing how even a thread on Eurovision can get hijacked to a discussion on breasts. OTOH, Eurovision has always been known for perky, bouncy music, so I suppose it’s only appropriate. 😉
