2018 Rose of Tralee thread.

Itssoeasy

I'm surprised the usual people haven't started a thread already. (If they have delete/merge threads please mods)

Anyway the usual hilarity and cringeworthy carry on will probably happen. There are 32 entries and what do people think the number of nurses/teachers there will be this year ? I'll go with 14 in total.

I'm sure we will have waltzing Matilda played for the Australian roses and another stereotypical American song for the roses from America. I've no idea which roses got in or all that.

the famine is over lads. Ye can forget 1959 lads. Does Tralee have an emergency supply of large bottles and small glasses ? Hon the Deise.

Didn’t watch any of them, only watched the result and just before they announced it I spotted her and went “she’s gonna win”....

Didn't Daithi always escort her through the audience too? Liked that for some reason

Fair result. Well done. We forgot how good she was with tonight's talent.

Very glad it wasn’t the Braggart London Rose. She would not have been a popular winner.

In fairness ethnicity and ticking those boxes aside she stood out as a person.

Celina Byrne is a lovely singer but I did prefer when a man used to sing it. Sure isn’t it tradition?!

Huh? That’s not what I meant, just thought she looked lovely, hadn’t seen her interview or anything.

Winner was picked maybe even yesterday or day before, and people in the know are gambling and effect the price so then the bookies know.

Stick here, well should I say on holiday here, in Norn Irn, so out of Rose broDcasting scope in this second night. I guess the Waterford Roaevhas got it, from the comments. An especially pretty girl, this win however seems to me a bit of a banner waving exercise of the pc establishment.

There's probably an element of that in it but to be fair she's a good looking girl and came across very well.
