I had Israel last by a long long way. This is ridiculous

I think it's quite good. It's certainly the best of the daft songs. I've heard worse in the usual UK Top 10.

We're doing well. Definitely gonna finish over 100.

I miss the days where they’d go through every single vote and we’d be here for weeks

I thought Israel loves gay people ??

I went to Tel Aviv about ten years ago and it was the most openly gay city I have ever visited. Locals were lovely people, contrary to the view that we get of Israeli people over here.

The Austrian lad must be excited.

He could sh1t in his trousers on TV and nobody would know.

Didnt like it though thought it better than Israel and I cant remember Austria. Come on Albania

noelfirl

TBH, I'd be delighted as long as anything other than the chicken song wins. Be that the Swedes again, Austria or Germany.

Only thing is it will bring Sweden level with us in terms of wins

SleetAndSnow

Baffled at how well Sweden is doing.

And usually from a dodgy phonebox outside the local tv studio.

No 12 points. Ireland hasn't been this pissed off with a jury verdict since the rugby trial.

I'm excited for Austrian cleavage

It should be a viewers text vote only to determine the results.

True, but I guarantee you we are way underpriced.

I found people's reactions to the bookies odds OTT. Reflects Irish betting and not how people in all of Europe voted.

It has always been that way. We are always favorites with the bookies. Wait for the world cup and the uk bookies will have England as favorites. Like lemmings people will throw money on the sure bet they heard about on social media.

Took Austria at 125/1 squeaky bum time

Ireland at the top of the table

Mrcaramelchoc

When does Marty Morrissey come on?

Harry Palmr

Israel is a gay friendly country, Russia is not. It's that simple within the context of the Eurovision song contest.

Me too. The tension was unbearable. You'd go away, use the jacks, stick the kettle on, put the bins out....and whoever was on when you left, would only be up to "weet" points. Ah, dem were de days...

He's a bit touched

Yer one will get a chest infection with that dress

I voted for Austria a few times, my reason being that I liked the song and I didn't think he'd get many votes :P

I'm sure the Palestinians think so too.

that blue dress is awful looks all wrong.

Austria was indeed the best song.

I mean what the hell is the point in all that buildup for the first part when they're just going to add the whole lot of the rest of them together for the last part?

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have the instantaneous vote first and then the detailed bit for the final part?!

Cezar doing far better than his father Daz did for the UK.

Precisely what I mean. Obviously Bookies like PP aren't ignorant to the world outside the "British isles", and they do their homework intensely but they know how to create a bandwagon for novelty bets like this. The amount of people that flocked to the bookies thinking they were buying money when PP et al started decreasing the odds hugely was telling.

Mountainsandh

Ireland did very respectfully so far anyway.

The Austrian singer better not have too late a night, he's P1 on the grid tomorrow in the Spanish GP:pac:

Atoms for Peace

Hamas are big Eurovision fans I'd imagine.

This is getting to be a pain in the hole.

Are you saying there's a chance?
