    That’s because they’ve heard the Croatian entry, and decided that the competition is wrapped up already…

    If Israel does poorly it could do a lot of harm to the European Jewish community…
    And if Israel does well it could do a lot of harm to the European Islamic community.

    If Olly Alexander had any sense he’d mumble something about a ceasefire and storm off stage before having to perform his awful song.

    I thought everything about the UK version was awful. I like to think that I’m no prude but I found it embarrassing. If we didn’t automatically go through I’m sure we would have been eliminated.

    I thought Israel would be shunned in the final and in any case I didn’t
    think much of their song. so WTF is going on, they were 40/1/1 before
    they performed tonight and now they are as low as 3/1. If they win then
    something really stinks. If they win then “something is rotten in the
    state of………Israel” Incredible

    For what it’s worth (not a lot) I quite liked France. I didn’t see Tuesday’s
    show so they probably wont get through tonight :unsure:

    By the way, I was watching it on catch-up, and I suddenly realised France are
    one of the “big 5” who go through anyway. You might think I’ve been drinking,
    you’d be right 🥴

    It’s essential to drink if you’re watching Eurovision!

    Agree about Israel. I also noticed they’d shortened dramatically, despite the song being so dull. Almost as if someone is funding thousands of bots to vote…

    My thoughts entirely Tonge. There has to be something that someone knows,
    no way would you stick enough lolly to bring it down that much unless you
    were in the know. I don’t want to say too much, I’m not sure Mosad know
    where Dunoon is.

    D’oh!, I’ve said too much :wacko:

    The lad wasn’t impressed to see Israel moving up the market
    I told him I’m not impressed to see Italy moving down it

    I did get on Switzerland to win Semi Final 2 at 9’s a week or so ago. Its unsettled, don’t know when the results of that get settled, possibly after the final

    I’m rooting for Ireland but no more bets for me

    and peace and quiet Saturday night as the boy is off to his friends house for a Eurovision party… :scratch:

    Get the popcorn ready folks, could be interesting later. Netherlands apparently disqualified over its participant’s behaviour backstage, all kicking off already.

    If Israel does win and it’s held there next year I can see a mass boycott happening.

    Good luck to Graham Norton commentating, that could get tricky trying to balance the comedy with what may or may not happen in terms of protests etc.

    And once again, they’ve gone overboard with excessive use of flashing lights…

    Didn’t really listen to the songs prior to the semis but, apart from Latvia, none of the songs I got liked got through to the final.I’ve backed Latvia 8/1 top ten hoping that other people like it, too. Some of the songs sound better hearing them again but none of them are songs that I particularly want to listen to again.

    I always go into this having not heard any song. Ireland impressed me so far, will be looking for a top finish at decent odds. Nothing been terrible so far but just a bit meh.
