Default Are the proud Welsh in danger of becoming sore losers?

Given the fact that Welsh radio stations have banned Leon's new single and all the complaints to Ofcom are the proud Welsh in danger of becoming sore losers?

Looking at the reported fact that Leon won by gaining an extra 10% of the vote over the runner-up it looks like a lot of people are going to be left with egg on their face including Rhydian himself. How is that going to affect Rhydians career? (discuss)

It's sour grapes but I don't think it has much in particular to do with Wales.

You can't slate the whole of Wales cus some radio stations aren't playing his song.

I'm from Wales I'm not moaning, we all know Rhydian is the better singer, nobody is moaning. Although you can understand his family will, but we're not sore losers. I mean, we have Tom Jones, Stereophonics, Shirley Bassey and what do the Scots have? oh yeah, Leon Jackson

If the roles were reversed; Scotland would be exactly the same.

I'm not sure, Leon wasn't the frontrunner to win so it wouldnt cause much trouble if he didn't win i think. The complaints are because Rhydian was always hyped up so people expected him to win with ease.

I think SOME welsh people are being sore but we can't really class a hole country as sore now can we?
