The bookies have slashed the odds on Glasgow now making it a firm favourite.
I have a range of weekends with free cancelleation booked
San Marino are going to have four semi finals!
No surprise at all. The press poll, the reaction from the crowd before said it all.
Ah Marty it was a sh1te song and didn't deserve to qualify.
What’s another year?
And stop using Marty
Moose knuckle and a weak vocal performance didn't impress the voting public
It wasn't a good song - and was way too slow for first 60 seconds.
5 x extremely meh songs left out.
CZECHIA!!!!
"Everything was perfect" except of course the song. Shut up Marty.
Watching UK coverage, the UK wasn't allowed to vote tonight, yet Denmark was able to vote.
Croatia Moldova and Serbia...let's be honest fecking awful.
One decent song that didn't make it imo...Netherlands...they should be pissed off!
Eire have shamed themselves again
Just sever the link between it and the LLS
A nd preferebally RTE altogether
Marty, ‘we didn’t get the votes that’s why we didn’t qualify’
And why would that be ya great big dope???!!!
Mr Jumpsuit can fck off back to obscurity now
This is what happens when you send a song you think is "Eurovision-y". You need to send something that sticks out and people remember
Marty embarrassing himself yet again
This means Marty is going to get totally locked on Saturday night ,now that we’re not in the final!!!
Why
Honestly I'm just more pissed that Croatia got in ahead of us.
You'd think at this stage that Marty Whelan would spare himself this guaranteed anguish every May.
Only thing nailed on in the Eurovision these days is Irish failure. We only had the Brits to vote for us and since we effed them over Brexit, even that's never going to happen again.
We should stop wasting money and humiliating young Irish musicians every year.
Ah stop. They didn't qualify cause the song was shíte, no other reason.
Public voted for em though.
The dopey public
Not a shock. Either we need to have an actual National voting contest again or I don’t know why we bother at this stage. You can’t expect to put in bland songs to a Eurovision and expect to win. What worked in the 1980s and 1990s doesn’t work anymore.
You are clueless, no it didn't. We were predicted to come last/second last in the semi before all that.
It wasn't virtue signalling btw the guys twitter was a sewer.
The song grew on me though and it was a good song. It was better than some of the stuff that got through.
I agree that everything was perfect. Apart from the song, vocals, outfits and staging
Not only will Sweden match our record of 7 wins, Loreen will match Johnny Logan's record of winning twice. Sweden will more than likely surpass us soon enough.
Marty is so funny when he's sad, did he really think mild youth would get through
Shame - seriously , it is a song contest - not a Brexit vote.
As I said, I shall save my ‘Get Rid Of Marty Whelan’ rant for tomorrow morning.
Time to get serious about it send Daniel O'Donnell.
