Have we all seen the stuff about jury voting irregularities in the 2nd semi-final and those countries having their votes in the final decided for them?
eurovoix.com
The countries were Azerbaijan, Georgia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania & San Marino.
I think this was also why some results from these countries were read by the head honcho guy in Turin rather than broadcasting the countries representative.

Enjoyed that although I had to buy a curry as I lost in our competition. I put all my eggs in the novelty Norway basket and they didn't make top five in the end. 
Gutted. That was my fav song by far. 
Top 5 I picked were Norway, Italy, Moldova, that Dutch one and something else I can't remember. None of them were top 5.
We weren't allowed to pick Ukraine or UK as it was obvious they were going to do really well. Other half won as she had Sweden and Spain in her Top 5.

I'm glad no public voted for that miserable Swiss bloke. Get another broken heart emoji projected onto yer face mate.
he was so sweaty shiny, as well bless him and he reminded me of the Tory Fella that has his head thatched.

Wow… I wonder what the irregularities were? I mean, who they benefited. Can nobbling the jury in six countries really change the result and make enough money for a betting syndicate to allow for bribes to be paid?Have we all seen the stuff about jury voting irregularities in the 2nd semi-final and those countries having their votes in the final decided for them?

Tbh I just assumed that it was Russia in a temper tantrum, rather than betting stuff, but I know very little of that sort of thing.

This link says, in the final, Georgia's Jury submitted 12 points to Ukraine but in the show this had been changed by the EBU to 12 points to the UK.

Ok, so the “irregularities“ were benefitting Ukraine. I wonder how the EBU knows that’s irregular then? Or perhaps the members of those juries were telling EBU different things about how they voted to what the spokesperson of the jury was reporting. Sounds feasible.This link says, in the final, Georgia's Jury submitted 12 points to Ukraine but in the show this had been changed by the EBU to 12 points to the UK.

I posted that more as an example of the result of the EBU cancelling their vote. I think Ukraine were in the 1st semi-final. I'm guessing the irregularities came from countries Jurys doing deals to vote for each other to get to the final. But then again I think the votes from the Jurys for the final are awarded after they've watched the dress rehearsal of the semis so they're already to be announced on Saturday. Maybe it was just Jury votes being too political with voting 12 for Ukraine when they're meant to be judging the song.

or the 'regularities' were to benefit a significant financial contributor to the EBU that came second.

Yeah I had to track it down on Youtube to remind myself about that one. It was the year Russia were the hosts too, they were ordered to change the lyrics they refused and pulled out.

Do you mean you think the EBU is fiddling the voting by over riding the valid results of six national juries?or the 'regularities' were to benefit a significant financial contributor to the EBU that came second.

I think on the way Eurovision voting goes, that its more likely Georgia gave Ukraine 12 points rather than UK.

Yipchaa!
So in the end, they didn't...

It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
The other four are going to be pissed off they didn't get their votes rigged too.or the 'regularities' were to benefit a significant financial contributor to the EBU that came second.

It was one of my top 3. Lucky in the end they didn't win. Would have been tricky hosting it this year.
How did Spain do so well. I cant even remember the song when I'm watching it.
