    Can’t believe Estonia are bottom.
    More of a public vote song not the jury's I guess.

    Bloody hell, we're all going to get nosebleeds being so high in the table in a minute... I thought we may finish bottom a few votes ago

    We've breached the 30 point mark, on jury votes alone. Wonders will never cease

    Slap bang in the middle of the leaderboard after the jury vote. GRaham Norton saying anyone on the LHS could win after the public vote, but I don't think that's strictly true. If we win on public vote it'd be an absolute miracle

    Not exactly surprised we got nil points on the audience vote, as the vocal performance was really quite weak.

    gonna wish I stuck a £1 on Croatia. They were 10/1 about 1 hour ago.

    is the public vote the audience at the venue or around Europe?

    Why bother with the hour of painful results giving monotony when the public vote can literally blow all of that out of the water?

    I am glad I didn't though now.  I actually stuck £1 on Croatia at 4/6 and £1 ok Switzerland 7/2 so won something. 

    I think I won something for 3 countries in the top 5 I think.

    Because it’s funny watching the hosts get annoyed with their silly comments and delays

    I believe only one country got a big fat zero from the public votes. Cant think who that might be .....

    Glad it came down to Switzerland and Croatia... Having watched the Semi-Finals those were the two I suspected would finish in the top two.

    Only put £5 on Croatia in the end, but its only a bit of fun

    Olly was poor but zero points from the public? And I see the UK vote has gone political now too, can’t complain when other countries do the same now.

    I've sussed how we can win this next year.

    All we need to do is invade Russia and have them hand us our arses so the rest of Europe feels sorry for our nuclear wasteland.

    I think there will be some interesting meetings at BBC HQ when they debrief this year's contest. 0 points from the public is very telling. Will be interesting to see if they go for another " name" entry again next year or look for someone that's more unknown like Sam Ryder was.

    So, some prat in a skirt doing acrobatics won. Next year we should enter Billy Smart.

    In years gone by I could have sworn that there were songs (yes, remember them) sung sensibly & with a tune you could sing along to. You know....Whats another year or,  god forbid, Waterloo.  I defy anyone to be able to sing along to 90% of that garbage.

    Good job I decided to watch the golf & then a film about Tony Hancock.

    I've just seen the winner. Much as I dislike MK Dons and Crawley, they've done me a favour. Let's go for Shaun Ryder rather than Sam next time, accompanied by Bez of course. Nailed on

    I think the song that won deserved to. I have to admit, Ireland was my favourite. The staging for our one was clever and it was better than it finished but it was not a winner. I think the public vote spoils the contest as it isn't about the best song although Switzerland did still win. Sam Ryder showed we can do well but you need a voice or voices that sound good live. Not just good but there has to have a real power to it.

    I think we made the same mistakes as last year. Goodish pop songs but no impact live.
