As England was an international sporting and social pariah at that time, due to their repeated hooliganism inside and outside of England, and in particular, the disgrace of the Heysel Stadium Disaster - in Brussels - poor Rikki, from Glasgow, Scotland, UK, was a very obvious lamb to the slaughter. <br /><br />Eurovision cannon-fodder, courtesy of our big-brothers and good neighbours in England, Scotland's Rikki was ranked 13 from 22 which at that time was the worst result of any UK entry in the competition. It was glaringly obvious that the Europeans hated 'us' at the time and the lowly 13th position was the rest of Europe's retribution for a 'Great Britain' that they were sick to the back teeth of. This this was why Scotland were 'gifted' the honour of representing the UK in 1987 - no other reason. Rikki's song might not have been good-enough to win but he certainly didn't deserve this. <br />I think that was the last Euro Song Contest I watched because I could plainly see 30 years ago what I plainly see now - Scotland doesn't matter. Furthermore, they can stick their London Eurovision auditions right up their bitter arses until we're independent of them - then, as you say, Andy, we'll skate it.Scot: of Independent mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988748011710360797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-54741301929278527812016-01-23T16:41:53.014+00:002016-01-23T16:41:53.014+00:00Skier, I was lining up for the Grt Scottish Run i...Skier, I was lining up for the Grt Scottish Run in Bellahouston Park and clocked Saville.
