Eurovision analysis: Blaming bloc voting just doesn't add up

Ireland's Nicky Bryne didn't make it past the Eurovision semi-finals last night, but protestations of "Bloc Voting" just don't add up, writes Karl Fradgley.

Yes we all know our Nicky didn't make it last night. He performed well and though all the Irish fans in the audience had everything crossable crossed for him, no-one was really surprised that we didn't qualify.
