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 decked an American who asked me if "Wales was in England" and 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.

Bet you're so proud ta have a twat dressed as a turkey representing ROI.

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

Terry Wogan being racist?

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...

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...

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.

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!
