That’s the way it’s gone these days mate

Yerra we will put it down to experience and go again next year.

Top five is each way in paddy powers

Imitation of a flapping rat as opposed to a flapping chicken would have been a more appropriate dance move for Israel

The yids finally win a trophy. Congrats @Matty_Hislop and @GeoffreyBoycott

Bet365 unfortunately

Hope you had that 66s each way?

Regarding place terms @Matty_Hislop yes Powers were five places but 1/5 odds. Bet365 were four places but 1/4 odds. Everyone else was four places at 1/5 odds then. Except Boylesports who went three (3) places with 1/5 odds. :joy:

Yet again the song I wanted to win finished second, as the Common Linnets did in 2014 and Polina did in 2015. I think I even wanted the Aussie one to win in 2016 and she lost out. Can’t remember last year.

Any theory as to why the European voting public hate the Aussies so much, @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, @Fitzy, @Chucks_Nwoko, @Loko_Cove, @KIB_man?

Has the ball tampering incident had an impact?

Thanks mate. We’re chuffed. Dana Internatjinal winning in 1998 was the precursor to winning the League Cup the season after.

Corofin won the All-Ireland club football championship in 1998, Israel won the Eurovision.

That’s a good omen for Offaly hurlers.

If I see 3 priests sitting together this summer so I’m gonna make it my business to sit behind them

What are the omens for Kiev? When Israel first won in 1978, the All Reds won at the Empire Stadium. The Dana International win in 1998 was follows by an All Whites win in Amsterdam to end a 32 year wait. Something has to give on the 26th.

1998 also saw another 32 year famine ended in September. The All Whites were on the receiving end for that one.

A good omen for Argentina, who would end a 32 year World Cup famine with victory in Moscow on July 15th.

I’m content to let the actual football play out on May 26th because as you say, the Eurovision omens are conflicting.

Although you left out that the All Reds from English Division 1 won in 1979 in Munich’s Olympic Stadium, so I’ll take that as 2-1 advantage for Liverpool.

Iceland entry getting plenty of hype. Tis catchy in fairness. The video :smiley:

There’s already a thread for this. Eurovision 2020 thread take any discussion there. Iceland are comically short at 4/1 with the bookies. I can’t see them winning it with this.
