I'm scared to post it. But my guy there says, Osterdahl has DQ'd Joost and send them home. They are prepping the statement.

Exactly.

 

[Gitte]

Were the comments on Joost's instagram always shut off?

 

[EscGeek]

Sarah, you better not be trolling us with a release of a christmas single (i'm looking at you, Victoria)

 

[AlekS]

There's no flag indeed.

 

[Seregil Korit]

RIP Eurovision. And a big thanks to everyone unable to keep politics out of this contest.

EBU themselves can't seem to keep politics out of the competition, how could the public?
It's about how you handle sh*t and I think we can all agree this was handled disastrously.

 

[NeoTen]

Confirmed: Osterdahl will speak in 40m to the press.
Dutch TV has all been informed to attend "the press convo will discuss the Dutch delegation", so no general statement incoming. It's gonna be about Joost and It's either gonna be, we DQ'd him (what my source told me) or, we won't decide until tomorrow.

 

[Gwendal]

Yeah, there's no going back
My anxiety attacks...

(it's a shame)

There's no flag indeed.

 

[Looren]

Confirmed: Osterdahl will speak in 40m to the press.

Source please ?

 

[NeoTen]

Source please ?

Dutch TV live now on public broadcaster. Think you're geoblocked for that.

 

[Augustas]

New update: Credible sources saying that Joost just finished another fight, this time with Osterdahl himself.

 

[Wolf7]

LMAO Netherlands causing the biggest ESC drama was not on my bingo list.

 

[BorisBubbles]

good fucking god.

 

[njdevils94]

The Joost Klein experience ladies and gentleman

 

[gigi_copp3]

I heard Joost Klein had a rumble with Dons. Oh, and Gustaph as well.

 

[Looren]

Dutch TV live now on public broadcaster. Think you're geoblocked for that.

On NPO1 ?

 

[NeoTen]

On NPO1 ?

20 min ago yep.

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

My prediction: On Sunday morning we will all ask ourselves "Why did we get so upset about nothing? We had a normal contest, normal voting, normal result. See you next year (probably in Croatia)."

 

[Looren]

20 min ago yep.

Oh alright, I wondered why they were showing interviews of Dutch fans from yesterday
