Got tickets for Saturday. I think we are playing Moldova. I'll get to see Trapper Tony shouting at everyone and I won't get to see Richard Dunne (sore ankle) or Stephen Ireland (AWOL).

Just looked at the FAI website - we are playing Serbia. Hope the team are more attentive than I am.

It is very bad of me not to know. I once laughed at an American who asked me if "Wales was in England" and at a German waiter who had never heard of a country called "Ireland".

Thanks. Though on Saturday I think I'll end up getting a hiding off some East European for asking what the weather is like in Estonia at this time of year.

They should bring back the Iron Curtain and the old USSR. I could understand that. Whenever we make the draw for a qualifier I never know all the countries we have to play.

T'would also shorten the sonic torture that is the Eurovision song contest, plus the eastern Europe block voting that goes with it.

This Saturday innit... Shit as fuck the Eurovisions... Why would anyone watch that this weekend when Ricky is on? Especially seeing as it's all political nonsense that is rigged. Estonia vote Moldova, Ireland vote GB and vice versa... Absolute shit

Dustin the Turkey is a legend! (and is a glove puupet not a bloke dressed up) Dana , who won in the early 70s singing All Kinds of Everything gave out shite about Dustin representing Ireland in the Europvision. He said he was just like Dana - they are both small birds who can't sing.

Dustin introduces kids TV on Irish TV. A few years back he received a lot of fan mail from Uni Students. One afternoon on live TV he dismissed his cult student fans as "a bunch of twats". He was off the air for a few weeks.

During a presedential election he ran a mock campaign for himself. There was an unusually high percentage of spoilt votes. It was revealed that a lot of voters just wrote "Dustin" on the ballot paper. The eventual winner, Mary Robinson, gave her first interview on his kid's show.

I don't think the rest of Europe will find this shit funny though. He is a creation from the same lads who brought us Zig and Zag, The Bronx Bunny and Podge and Rodge.

*wants Dustin to win now*

Tbf there's a good chance he might at least get 12 points from us, as students like nothing more than to inundate Eurovision, Sports Personality and other phone in voting systems with ironic votes.

Ireland used to win all the time with "proper" songs but failed with Brian Kennedy a few years back and came last with "nil" points with some dire Euro cheese and also with some sincere Traditional crap.

I'm glad were going down the "Lordi" root, take the piss and win the contest.

I may skip the footy in order to watch this.

The Lordi route is definitely the way forward. Gets my vote every time.

Hard. Rock. Hallelujahhhhh...

:D

I voted for Lordi twice. The fact that it left Brian Kennedy bitter and angry that his "real" song only came 17th when they won made it even funnier. Have you heard Dustin's song?

When he performed it at the heats more people were booing that cheering. Louis Walsh wasn't amused and last year's winner, the Serbian lesbian, was laughing so much she couldn't comment.


Here are the fine lyrics:

Irelande douze pointe

Oh, I come from a nation
What knows how to write a song
Oh Europe, where oh where did it all go wrong?
Come on!

Irlande douze points

Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan's wig
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan's gig

Shake your feathers and bop your beak
Shake 'em to the west and to the east
Wave Euro hands and Euro feet
Wave 'em in the air to the turkey beat

Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
To the funky beat
Come on

G-O-B gobble B-L-E, yeah...

Hello ABBA, hello Bono, hello Helsinki
Hola Prague, hello sailor, c'est la vie
Auf Wiedersehen, Mamma Mia and God Save the Queen
Bonjour Serbia, g'day Austria
You know what I mean

Shake your feathers and bop your beak
Shake 'em to the west and to the east
Wave Euro hands and Euro feet
Wave 'em in the air to the funky beat

Shake your feathers and bop your beak
Shake 'em to the west and to the east
Wave Euro hands and Euro feet
Wave 'em in the air to the turkey beat

Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Aha

Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
To the funky beat
Come on

Give us another chance, we're sorry for Riverdance
Sure Flatley, he's a Yank
And the Danube flows through France
Block vote, shock vote
Give us your twelve today
You're all invited to Dublin, Ireland
And we'll party the Shamrock way

Irlande douze points – Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points – Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points – Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points – to the funky beat
Come on

Irlande douze points, Irlande douze points

Eastern Europe, we love you
Do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash, as it is to you
(Irlande douze points, Irlande douze points)

Yes, it's Bulgaria, we love you
Belarus, Georgia, Montenegro
Moldovia, Albania, Croatia
Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Macedonia
Don't forget Turkey
Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia
Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegova
And don't forget the Swiss – cheese!

Quality, can't wait to hear it. Anyone who takes Eurovision as seriously as Brian Kennedy should be shot. We tried the having a laugh route with our innuendo-laden, camp-as-fuck effort last year. At least I hope we did and it wasn't a serious attempt... :p

Oh yeah, the Eurocheese song. Lots of doubles. I think for everyone in Europe to find it funny you have to take the piss big time.

A straggly puppet surrounded by dancing girls (one of them very "well nourished") should do the trick.

There ain't no room for subtlety in this game!
