Sorry but that first sentence made me giggle at bit. "We did everything we could"… well, no Conor. You‘re a sweet guy but you surely didn’t do everything you could?

I'm sorry my dude but you failed on the first and most important step - getting an actually competitive song capable of qualifying at all in any universe
I think the fact that he tags the HoD after that is kinda telling too.
I'm sure this is the mentality pestering the whole Irish delegation, this whole "they never give us a chance anyway so why bother even trying"

This is one of the only times where I managed to predict all 10 qualifiers, despite it being such a bloodbath.

Yeah, their attitude maybe gives an insight into why Ireland keeps failing at Eurovision, we need to get off our high horses. I remember similar sour grapes from Nicky Byrne in 2016 who blamed bloc voting despite his awful song. Brooke in fairness to her seemed very humble and gracious.
They literally gave it their all, maybe even too much.
Didn't know there were camels in Ireland

I hope Connolly returns to the Irish national selection in the future. Midnight Summer Night was my favourite entry and she did well for someone who had never performed before.

Perhhaps the best interval acts we’ve ever seen. Rita Ora who I usually don’t love was 10/10 and then the Duran Duran duet was just breathtakingly perfect

I predicted 9/10, the only one I missed was
. I think I had instead but I didn't feel sure about this one at all.

Or Ireland sends Dustin The Turkey (who made a glamorous & unexpected appearance yesterday) again. Or some other singing puppet.
But one could tell from how your NF look like that sadly Ireland does not give a shit. It looks worse than the final in Moldova which is very damning for a rich country that is Ireland.

I am surprised they didn't leak more than once or twice. I mean some people are entitled to look at those as they have to, you'd think someone would take the photo and leak.
They gave it all they got, until they failed.
Self prophecy achieved
they're back up again
(not the instagram post, i'm referencing the lyrics)
Paul got me too. Actually thought we did a good job overall on the coverage and presenting.

If the Q in semi 2 is 100% correct from betting odds, this will be one of the best yet one of the worst Eurovision ever.
A decent figure for mid week, usually the semi finals struggle to hit 1 million. Last night our commentators kept reading out comments also from the public saying they never knew the semis existed but were loving them. I'm excited for the final, should hit 10 million+ i hope.
