Let’s face it, Irish Twitter was the real winner of Eurovision 2018

Last night's Eurovision final was one of the most exciting in recent memory. 

Not only were Ireland competing in it for the first time in five years, but the wacky performances, gorgeous outfits and the odd stage invader made it a spectacle to watch. 

As expected, Irish folk gathered to watch the events unfold on screen, and while the show was amazing, the real action was all happening on Twitter.

With disappointment, anguish, and plenty of Father Ted references, here are some of the best reactions to last night's Eurovision final.

Every year Ireland gets to this stage of the #eurovision I tell myself I don't care. I then proceed to care and get irrationally upset with the results.
