“We are the Liverpool of Eurovision…” The reaction to the semi-final

Molly Sterling has failed to make the Eurovision final on Saturday night, and Ireland is not pleased.

While many people see it for the empty pageantry that it is – let’s be honest here – others have taken it all very badly. Very badly indeed.

So badly, in fact, that they want to wheel Johnny Logan out of retirement.

At least they remembered to bring the Tayto.

So a disappointing night for the Irish as Molly didn't make the final. Pass me the tissues #Eurovision

Lookit, I've no interest in Eurovision. Hooey and always has been. But @SterlingMolly is a proper artist and will have the career she wants

Ok. We need Johnny Logan back next year. 20 years since Eimear Quinn won with 'The Voice'. #Eurovision2015
