    Bishop Brennan. This one will be over quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Bishop Len - potential winner for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭Seven Septs


    Len to win outright.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,303 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I think if I left the quota at 1 million Mrs Carberry would still struggle to get a vote.

    10-0 and counting. Len Brennan completes our Quarter Final line up

    Solid Final 8. Dougal and Jack would be the two weakest links for me there, but they're main characters so unsurprising to see them here.

    Ok business end of the contest.

    Interest is high and to be fair to allow people to get a vote in I am removing the quota from this point onwards.

    Matches will be 30 mins in length. Most votes after 30 mins will advance to the Semi Finals. Reasons are optional but will be taken into account in the event of a tie.

    Coming up in about 5 mins will be our first match :)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Tom the final secularist.

    Cheers Necro- that gives me time to organise a bite to eat - every 1/2 hour is great- thanks ��


  • Registered Users Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Redser87


    Can catch a breath now, thanks Necro!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    That was fast!

    Counting votes after 30 mins is the way to go though.

    Tom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Tom - stole every scene he was in and Dougal has come far enough.


  • Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I’m going Dougal here- it wasn’t quite a straight man act with Ted, more like the fool but it worked whatever it was and gave me great laughs - certainly not the winner but for this round it’s Dougal


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Tom!!! Because Dougal isn't funny (far away / small being the exception).

    Tom has his moments and is the last layperson standing.

    Dougal. He was the foil to so many jokes and situations.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    A weak enough quarter final. That means there's going to be some tough ones later on.

    I'll go for Dougal, Tom has done well on behalf of the lay community getting this far but he's out of his depth at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,647 ✭✭✭Penfailed

    Tom.

    He shot JR and got away with it. Not as stupid as he looks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 212 ✭✭Tiger Roll


    Dougal- " that's almost as mad as the thing you told me about the loaves and fishes Ted " . Just for that line alone


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 7,454 Mod ✭✭✭✭HildaOgdenx


    Tom!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭The Mighty Quinn


    Dougal. I like Tom, but too hard to overlook Dougal for a few of his notable lines, "How's the son" comes to mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Fr. Dougal Maguire - he needs more votes here, tom is grand but Dougal is brilliant

  • Registered Users Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Redser87


    Dougal. I love how utterly gormless he is.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,340 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Dougal, he's brilliantly gormless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 315 ✭✭soundman45


    Tom

    I vote for Tom, Great character him withdrawing his money was funny, Pat Short back when he was funny.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,303 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Still time to vote, Dougal leads 10-6 at this stage


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    For Dougal Maguire.

    God Ted, I’ve heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord’s going to come back and judge us all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 544 ✭✭✭SnowyMay


    Dougal.

    Because he lost the flag.

    All Tom ever did was shoot JR.

    Dougal. It's like a spider but it has the mind of a baby

    Crazy and deranged takes on... erm… Crazy, drunk and deranged?

    Fr Noel Furlong!

    Furlong was good but Jack - Girls knickers

    The greatest dancer Fr. Noel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Noel - I could take or leave Jack, but Noel's appearances were some of my favourites.

    Disappointed with the draw for these first two Quarter Finals because it means the last two are going to be really really tough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 544 ✭✭✭SnowyMay


    Fr. Noel.

    Ten past the eleven!!


  • Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Fr. Noel- as up to the final I think this is all about the minor characters


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Fr Noel

    He’s my fave character.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,939 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    Noel for me.

    The singer freddie mercury could have been.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,647 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    Noel Furlong for me this time. Again, even though somewhat irritating, he wasn't as one dimensional as Jack's character.

    Jack.

    I don't care if I'm in your black book Noel you're not funny just incessant silly chatter!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,408 CMod ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Noel -my favourite character of all


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,340 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Father Noel Furlong. I wouldn't mind seeing him win the whole thing.
