Der ORF is a "loser"-Verein!! Schämts euch echt!!
That is annoying, shame on you ORF. I feel sorry for Austrian fans
p.s ORF instead of complaining about the voting system, you could actually send a good song
Hope to see Austria again too!
I miss Austria, but if they want to come back with smth like in 2005 
, then better don't return, but if they want to send smth like in 2004 (Tie Break - "Du bist" 
), I want them back 
Well, i always say it but PLEASE COME BACK!
anyway, the clubbing was great, and there were a lot of people. i head´nt idea how many people like eurovision in austria ... but ORF ....
@Ajdin
we also hate ORF here 
))
Ajdin,
EBU can cash some extra, on a country not entering in any of the shows, eh eh
@sascha mutavdzic
Well, of course I know how do esc fans in Austria feel. I didn't say anything against you. I just don't like ORF and I can't help it. I would love to see Austria back on Eurovision but by some other television.
oh guys. dont try to found a sin behind ORF decission. just imagine how we feel in austria about that. owfull!!!
After TVE, ORF is definitly television which I hate the most (from "Eurovision aspect" or whatever).
They will show live just voting from Eurovision 2009 final just "to show" their viewers that Eurovision is a political contest. I don't know why did EBU allow that to them.
And what is the sense behind broadcasting the Voting if no one knows the songs? (Song presentation is just lame when you know that the real contest runs at the same time)
why don't they just show the final instead then
song presentation is a review about who will be taking part in the final
what is "song presentation" on saturday?
