Ukraine 1.7 on Betfair to win Eurovision

[Duke of Marmalade]

This is the easiest money ever. Any jury which gives Ukraine less than douze points will be deemed Putinistas.

Irrespective of the merits of the song, Ukraine richly deserves to win. Might even make up for having Bono inflicted on them last weekend. Oh, and the whole Russian invasion thing too.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

I mean to get Bono on top of the Russians they really must be wondering what they did to deserve this

I'd say the voting will be interesting. Kiev calling will bring the house down.

Does anyone think if Ireland will make it to the final ?

Does anyone think if Ireland will make it to the final ?

I hope not.

3.5 on Betfair. 3rd worst of the semi finalists.

So it will be another case of 'What,s another year ' so

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Well, I told you so.
Ireland popular vote interesting:
1. Ukraine
2. Poland
3. Lithuania
4. Moldova
5. United Kingdom

You would think we were in Eastern Europe!
I understand Ukraine; I presume the other 4 are explained by nationals in those countries living here.

I actually thought that Ireland 's entry was better than a lot of the finalists.

I don't think UK and Moldova would get that many votes every year from here, Lithuania also.
There may have been some partisan voting, but Moldova got a lot of popular votes for their mad train song.
UK was their strongest song in a long while.
Lithuania's entry had a throwback vibe.
Poland seems more down to partisan votes.
