Eurovision 2016 betting thread

The bassline at the start was a crap rip off the one from “Rappers Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang.

@Fitzy we’re 5/1, in from 18s, after Dami Im’s stunning performance last night. While we can’t benefit from any bloc voting, we’ll absorb a good few ex-pat votes. This, along with our reputation of being a friendly, humble and hardworking nation, surely puts us in the boxseat ahead of the weekend’s final. We have this.

Brilliant mate, that sounds great. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

It was very similar.

What the fuck has happened us in the singing competition lads? Not that I gave a shit, but when I was a lad it seemed like we won the fucking thing every year. Has the rest of Europe advanced so much in the songwriting/singing department since or have we become like England in the footie since 1966?

The best song generally ends up winning anyway unless there’s some shit novelty act that gets people behind it like the lad with the beard a few years ago for instance

Nobody likes us. We have no local alliances and we disrespected the Eurovision gods sending Dustin the turkey.

Pointless Celebrity Eurovision special on BBC 2 now. Johnny Logan and Linda Martin are flying the flag for Ireland.

Linda and Johnny are through to the head to head round. :clap:

I assume we will all be tuned to Marty on Rte for this and not Graham on the been?

I’ll be watching this on RTE. I haven’t watched any songs or any of the semi finals but just know that Russia are strong favorites and Australia has been a big gamble too. Anything else to note or watch out for tonight? I’m bulling for a few bottles of beer now but gutted that there’s nothing in.

He still did better than national disgrace Nicky fucking Byrne.

It’s just like Lakeside at Stockholm’s Globe Arena as the Swedish House Mafia booms out as our presenters make their entrance for the final of the Grand Prix.

The greatest show on earth

This entry from Belgium is brutal

This is even worse

this is a cracking tune from the Netherlands

They had another decent similar-ish one a few years ago I think
