Israel got a lot there what was the Ukraine amount the other year? Not sure but 300 odd is a lot of people in Europe voting for them.

The biggest public vote; I think.

[TheShanklyGates]

So, Switzerland or Croatia...

[duvva 💅]

Switzerland just  went to 1.02 on betfair

[JerseyKloppite]

Switzerland just  went to 1.02 on betfair

They can calculate how many points are left.

[TheShanklyGates]

Well done Switzerland.

[gazzalfc]

Switzerland win!!

If you added up all the points for the other countries you'd have been able to work out exactly how many Switzerland would get. Gutted I didn't do it really - could have made a killing!

[JerseyKloppite]

Almost identical to last year really. Jury vs public vote.

[Libertine]

YESSS!!!!

Glad they won. Best song of the top 3....

[Ray K]

Told you all it wouldn't be close.

Europa League for us next year.

[gazzalfc]

We gave 12 points to Israel.....

[Hazell]

UK voted for Israel. Huh.

[JerseyKloppite]

Israel won the UK televote.

Wow.

[Barneylfc∗]

Says a lot about the UK

[duvva 💅]

Has anyone ever got 0 public vote before?

[killer-heels]

[gazzalfc]

Has anyone ever got 0 public vote before?

Yep. UK numerous times

[Crosby Nick]

Has anyone ever got 0 public vote before?

Why, the United Kingdom accomplished that feat no more than a half decade ago.

[smicer07]

Yeah the UK has before 😂

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Says a lot about the UK

Given their total, most countries will have given them 12 or 10.

[Ray K]

Israel won the UK televote.

Wow.

Mossad have to do something to keep themselves busy. It's not like they've been doing their day jobs.

[TheShanklyGates]

Has anyone ever got 0 public vote before?

The UK, many times

[duvva 💅]

You lot need to get out more

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Given their total, most countries will have given them 12 or 10.

Someone mentioned that the "Vote to Win" aspect helps them.

People who are strongly pro-isreal will vote for them in this climate.

Those who are not will have their vote spread over lots of other countries, or in many cases, are not participating in this years contest

[Libertine]

Don't make them try to balance on that thing again....

Great show. Well done Sweden and Nemo!

[Barneylfc∗]

You'd nearly forget Graham Norton is supposed to be Irish

[Andy82lfc]

Says a lot about the UK

Yeah, sometimes people think differently outside bubbles. Was similar across the whole of Europe also, not just UK.

Did anyone get more public vote than them?

[Crosby Nick]

I just wanted to bastardise a Happy Gilmore quote.

[Midget]

Jury vote in Eurovision is stupid. They should just let the people decided in a competition like this.

[Crosby Nick]

We gave 10 points to Ireland guys. Guys?…They’ve gone.

Think this is probably spot on. Suppose it’s one of the rare opportunities to publicly but also anonymously show support for Israel.

Israel would have won it in a public vote.

[JerseyKloppite]

Did he break the trophy there

[Andy82lfc]

Jury vote in Eurovision is stupid. They should just let the people decided in a competition like this.

Agree. I think they started when the UK (big contributor) started getting loads of nils after we killed and injured many hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghan after a terror attack. Maybe we should have had protests outside for us to be chucked out too.

Should just be public vote or at least a lot less points for judges.

Well I think this time the jury got it right.

[MBL?]

Israel won the UK televote.

Wow.

Not surprising in the slightest when you see posts from loads on here backing them in the news forum. That really surprised me. Delighted all the racists around Europe made them get top points, spent money on it and all for nothing.

[Midget]

Israel would have won it in a public vote.

Croatia would have. Even if Israel would have won the public vote then fair enough if that's what the people decide. They shouldn't have been allowed to participate in the first place. Looking for faux artistic merit in a competition like Eurovision is just silly and phony.
