Topic: Eurovision 2024 (May 11th, semis on the 7th/9th)

[LFCEmpire]

That chair is funny af.

[JerseyKloppite]

Typical mix of the soulful and the silly with some decent performances and some good fun.

Finland obviously memorable as a spectacle but genuinely think that anyone other than Switzerland or Croatia winning would be a bit of a shock.

[Bob Kurac]

Vote Estonia. Just do it. Several times.

[sheepfest]

Loads you could do with the technology too. Anfield could host a game a day with old classic games shown through AI.

If we can erase the Michael Thomas goal I'm sold on it then.

[Ray K]

The Olly Alexander song sounds like a Pet Shop Boys album track from 1988. Which is fine, but it wouldn't be one of their bangers.

[duvva 💅]

A lot of Everton fans there tonight

[TheShanklyGates]

Time for the best bit of any Eurovision.

[Libertine]

Bit harsh...

Introspective. Bought that on cassette with some Smiths vouchers.

[TheShanklyGates]

12 for Portugal? What the actual fuck?

[Libertine]

WTF UK??

[Ray K]

Portugal was the worst song. Fair play to you Brits, a jury decision to go with some of your more infamous ones.

[duvva 💅]

Croatia not scoring well with the judges. Switzerland are now second favs

[TheShanklyGates]

One of a hell of delay on the phone lines tonight.

[Ray K]

Croatia not scoring well with the judges. Switzerland are now second favs

Who's the favourite now?

[koptommy93]

Julian Ward was behind that

[duvva 💅]

Finland on 0. This is rigged

[duvva 💅]

Who's the favourite now?

Croatia still odds on

[Libertine]

Finland on 0. This is rigged

Always going to struggle with people with a musical perspective.

[Crosby Nick]

Julian Ward was behind that

You joke but did you know he was responsible for signing Lasar Markovic.

Posted on behalf of Al who couldn’t be with us tonight.

[Kekule]

UK doing well again.

[Ray K]

Croatia still odds on

I mean, this is looking like Liverpool's 2019-20 campaign and we're about to visit the Walkers Stadium.

[Crosby Nick]

George Michael living in Malta. Who knew.

I think the public vote mates a massive difference

[TheShanklyGates]

RTE are currently shitting themselves.

[Ray K]

I think the public vote mates a massive difference

It's not like the public are going to think the Swiss song is shite. It's going to get a big score.

[Kashinoda]

When did they re-introduce the juryt vote? It's pants.

[koptommy93]

Ireland's song was shite

[duvva 💅]

Switzerland are now favs

[TheShanklyGates]

I see we've taken our natural place at the bottom on nil points.

[Crosby Nick]

When did they re-introduce the juryt vote? It's pants.

They’ve always had it haven’t they?

[Libertine]

Some big songs scoring badly - UK, Spain, Finland, Israel.

[Ray K]

When did they re-introduce the juryt vote? It's pants.

They've never gone away from it.

[koptommy93]

Boooo

[Crosby Nick]

As if the goths of Ireland are second at this point.

[Bob Kurac]

Where’s VAR when you need it?

[JerseyKloppite]

Croatia still odds on

Last year the jury loved Sweden and the public loved Finland.

This year my assumption is that Switzerland will do brilliantly with the jury and pretty well with the public. I think Croatia will do very well with the public but don’t think that they’ll do well enough with the judges.

[TheShanklyGates]

Ah! Thank fuck for the colonies.

[Crosby Nick]

And God bless the Aussies.

[Hazell]

And God bless the Aussies.
