Yeah, as soon as Moldova got humungous audience votes and then Ukraine got over 400, a quick bit of mental maths told you that the only way for the UK to win was for Spain and Sweden to get a tiny amount.
When the Spanish got the horny man vote (only kidding, it was a decent song), you knew it was all over.
It must be satisfying for Sam Ryder to know that in any 'old-school' Eurovision contest (pre-audience voting years), then the jury vote, which he won, would have given him the title.
I must admit I thought something weird had happened in the multiverse when we got the douze points off the French.
It's the Eurovision equivalent of the 94/95 Football League Championship, which still burns inside me at the injustice.
Nice one Binners.
Nice that Harry
Lovely.
They both seem to be able to sing as easily as speak.
I’m getting old - I was just thinking get your f***ing boots off that piano! 😂
Mrs Binners and the girls were playing some of his social media stuff last night. He seems like a thoroughly nice bloke
Yeah, he deserves to be massive. He seems like the genuine article whereas recent entrants look like they were found doing karaoke in the pub the week before.
He should do more duets with his Swedish friend.
Agreed with the comments above. I'm sure part of the reason he did so well was also because of how he came across, especially on the evening
I do hope that Sam Ryder now gets a serious boost.
A good song, sung and performed really well, by a nice bloke who has real charisma.
Deserves more than the a EV 2nd place.
OMG!!! I'm listening to More or Less on radio 4. It turns out the jury results were all fixed!!!
Edit: my wife tells me this is old news.
How?
During the semi finals by all accounts.
Ah yes.... found that. it's not really relevant though is it.
I'm sure it's been 'fixed' for a number of years but hopefully we [the UK] can now take it for the bit of fun it really is after our 'win' this year.
