Congratulations to John and Edward at winning the rite to represent Ireland, two lads from Dublin who made it. We should all get behind them and wish them well, come on Ireland

I hope they make complete fools of themselves

You do know that Dervish represented Ireland in 2007? They finished last with 5points, all from Albania.

Please re-read the first line of my post that you quoted! It's about participating - and demostrating what we can do. Whoever goes there should go there to sell the country as an interesting place, as a great bunch of people etc. A bit of goodwill will go a long way - especially when we are constantly blowing ECB for more money..!

I don't think it matters who we send. Its all about the song. We've sent nothing but forgettable songs for years. Every time I watch the program to select the song its always the same auld sh!te in there. If you look at the likes of Fairytale (Norwegian buck with the violin) that was catchy as hell. As soon as you heard it you knew it was going to win.

I went to see George Hrab earlier this evening; he's American, in Ireland for the first time, so you can imagine his bemusement when the driver of the cab from the airport started crying about Jedward and Eurovision ... "what's a Jedward?" :cool:

Name me a Euro vision entry which hasn't done just that? Don't underestimate Jedward. They could be brilliant. The most important thing is points. Jedward could deliver.

Haha just watched it on rte player now. I really couldnt give a crap about the eurovision, jedward etc but it was pretty obvious that RTE had giving by far the largest amount of tickets to fans of nicky kavanagh or whoever it was. Then they got all stroppy at the end when jedward won., haha losers. Joke is on them.

This. What a great song. But Rossie is right, we are in control, we are making a joke out of it and someone is getting rich off of it while we take the piss out of Europe

The Eurovision is a joke because the "New Europeans" vote for each other in overwhelming block votes. Bring back the Berlin Wall. We were happy enough in our Western ghetto. Sure they want to join our organisations, but then vote overwhelmingly for each other.

block voting or no block voting we as a country have not sent anything to touch these last 15 years
