    "Joe, it's the same sh1te every year, and it's not working... And that f**king Louis Walsh, Joe... Why is he always involved in it.. Tell me that, Joe.. We need to send a ballad like Butch Moore's song".

    Austria is the last one.

    It's official; Brendan did not make it. Hard luck to him.

    How could this happen?

    It's a complete mystery. But Macedonia were robbed - best actual song on the night.

    This is a myth. Look at the list of winners over the last 10 years.

    Our song this year wasn't up to scratch, it's that simple. It was really bad and forgettable.

    Marty says pipped to the post but I'd be shocked if Ireland weren't in the bottom 2 of the overall scoring from this group. So dull.

    Oh well. No big shock we didn't qualify. I do think Brendan is a talented lad but he needs better songs.
    Biggest surprise was Estonia, and I'm ok with that as I hated their song. Didn't foresee Croatia qualifying at all!
    I feel bad for Macedonia, I thought they deserved a spot in the final. :(

    Marty saying well done to Brendan for his efforts.

    Bloody hell.

    He sang 'Dying to Try' but 'Tried to die' was more what happened.

    RTE need to seriously rethink how they pick their songs. Surely someone like Louis Walsh or any of the famous Irish bands would be happy to assist in picking a song.

    Why do Ireland even bother trying anymore, I think we could send Bono dueting with Saoirse Ronan on a dance track wearing just duct tape and wouldn't qualify
