Tonight’s the big night! Brooke’s qualifying odds have steadily improved to reach 11/4 today in a tough Semi Final 2. I’m confident she’ll comfortably sneak in ahead of Cyprus and Belgium.
Meanwhile…

What’s the point. Ukraine have already won the competition.
Have the actually shoehorned the Ukrainian flag colours into the background of the Irish entrant’s poster?
So even if she is crap, vote for her, stoopid Eurovison
That’s it exactly…
Just like eu/irish politics…
;-)
The poster isn’t ‘at a roundabout outside Derry City’ – it’s actually 39 miles away from Derry, in Bellaghy.

Bellaghy is closer to Belfast than Derry.
Even fluffy hasn’t touched this rubbish the year
Actually:
Qualify Street https://www.broadsheet.ie/2022/05/09/qualify-street/
Yes indeed thanks v much
Ah Bellaghy! Birth-place of Seamus Heaney. A good GAA Football Club, used to be better, neighbours Ballinderry kinda out-shone them, recently it was Slaughtneil. Shayna has little memory of Ireland’s last Derry Euro winner (plonked in font of tv in 1970 -Shayna was 4) – Dana, although, she won sufficient sufficient votes in later years to become a MEP – not so much for Prez of Ireland, however. Fair play to Brooke, she seems great and all the best! Can I say, “Come on Ireland/Derry!”. For the benefit of the uninitiated – Tyrone GAA types chant at Derry supporters – There’s No London in Tyrone! Come on Ireland/Derry!
Thanks for the Tyrone perspective.
Grim sense of humour though sheesh

Coincidentally, also the 25 yrs anniversary of the disgusting murder of Seán Browne locking the gates of the GAA club.

It’s also the anniversary of Francis Hughes.
@Fearganainm – we remember all their names! Shayna is a friend of Broadsheet.ie
My cc Coalisland was Fr… can’t remember, I’m from Clonoe, he was Fr….. Fr. Coyle sorted out that shite! A Jesuit!
Not as good as used to be – i.e., Dana.
Have we won yet?
Some of the online feedback is very positive about Brooke Scullion’s performance:

Again this is really your level Fearg
You’re more of a Gerard Culhane type of guy yourself, right?
You’re a twisted little freak. And yes, you stand comparison with another freak who sends twisted freak messages to females. You are what you are.
Poor Fearg
The whole world can see what you are
Pull your pants up please
Your perverted, misogynistic posts litter the site as monuments to the kind of twisted freak that you are.
No amount of deflecting can erase your warped history here.
Here it comes from fergie, aweul insults to follow
e.g.
https://besthinditech.com/eurovision-viewers-let-their-opinions-be-known-on-irelands-brooke-scullion/
But “Ireland are currently 7/2 to qualify for the final with the bookies not thinking she’s done enough to secure one of those coveted places.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3r7Tp7fAZ4
And another sexist pig comment allowed on Bs. ffs Bodger. Why allow the same old echo gobsheens on here?
Back with your rapey perverted notions. Thought your sorted that out but here you are again…
Lol / you want to join him?

Bookies called it, no luck for Brooke Scullion tonight.
I called it above too actually
She was/ is a total pile of dung
Disagree. She was great. In fairness.
Ah now, that’s not fair. She was actually very good, the song had just a bit too much jaggedness for Eurovision. However, the backing dancers – well, there’s no nice way to say this, but they had rubbish choreography and just didn’t bring any game. It’s been a failing for Ireland for a long time now. Fine singers, all right songs, but it’s like sending children to play an adults game. It’s like they’re always in a different show. Innocent’s abroad. It just doesn’t work. However, within the limits set for her, she delivered a great performance, congratulations.
I’ll accept that point that within her limited talent and the constraints and context of the production she achieved her goals.
But the question remains why are we sending someone so inexperienced and offering her up as cannon fodder thereby effectively aborting her career prior to take off?
A more experienced performer would put their foot down as well about other sub par elements of the production. It could be as you say the backers are so bad that it biased me against the whole thing from the start. I’ll look at it again later.
Steady on… I’m not sure I’d watch it twice.. but, you’re right.. it’s almost like Linda Martin wants to kill any chance these young ones have of building a career.
Don’t tell me that Linda Martin (And Louis Walsh?) are still deciding who is sent to Eurovision?
The choreography, almost synchronised swimming, was the usual local christmas concert type of stuff. No imagination.
You are a disgrace. How BS allows these types of posts to remain on is beyond me. You have a pretty sick mind. People who are content with themselves don’t write this sort of stuff, you clearly have major issues. Are you Charger?
Lol
I’m guessing Brooke from London/Derry didn’t qualify? Brooke from Ireland/Derry – Nice One! xx
Decent performance and tune. That’s how it goes.
The papers are late again.
Can’t get the staff, etc.
Great noise. Congratulations on operating your computer.
This website was once rather good, I thought.
True though
