So the p-p-p-p-p-p-plucky Penguin managed to overhaul Maryland Cookies in the final furlong, while Chocolate Digestives opened their legs, showed their class, and eased away from Shortbread (the whole of Scotland mourned).



56 Started this journey, now only 2 remain. Round after round they've duked it out, flour and sugar spilled, now we wait. On this, St Georges Day, the anniversary of that other great battle twixt a Turkish man and a dragon, we will see which is our favourite biscuit.

Vote early, vote often. We'll know tomorrow, when the smoke of battle clears

Shortbread woz robbed.

Cant believe how penguin got here. Average, at best.

Penguin even only came second in its Group - second to Tunnocks Caramel Wafers.

Too many non-biscuits allowed to compete have ruined this.

This is a bit like a minor cup final. Some greats have been wasted as part of this process.

Mismatch, Penguin will not get off the ground
Chocolate Digestive will fly to victory by 90% to 10%.

How chocolate Hobnobs never made the final is a disgrace

This is the beauty of tournament biscuitry.

Tunnocks Caramel Wafers are awesome, yet came nowhere.

Chocolate digestive are the Beatles of the biscuit tin

You guys are a boring bunch

embarrassing mismatch

Finally.

I've been waiting all year for this.

That's Bandoff !

This is awkward.

What a dull climax! Pah. Not even worthy of a pre-final It’s A Knockout. Still, I expect the McVities oligarchs will be pleased to see both their A team and a feeder club in the mix.

The Penguin v Maryland Cookie semi-final was definitely the match of the tournament.

A comeback to be proud of
Sits up there with locky v gillingham &
Kitch v Millwall .

The chocolate digestive a boring but clear winner.
The Germany of biscuits but not the wurst option.

Do you remember digestives with Caramac chocolate? Fabulous. Used to buy a packet when I got my paper round pay on a Saturday and eat a whole packet in a oner. Probably about 2000 calories, but no big deal when your an energetic 13 year old

Nope but i do remember buying 10 caramac bars & eating them 1 after the other .

Well it was until me.dad tied me to a chair at 4 am in the morning .

Must have been all of 8 or 9

I used to be a massive fan of Caramac - I shall have to see if I can rekindle the affair.

Well there you have it - a pretty one-sided affair in the final. I think it was Dunners who called it (while we were playing Bandoff - the bands edition), so you all seem to be pretty predictable.

So far, we can ascertain that this board likes The Beatles and Chocolate Digestives.

Didn't George have a major row with Yoko after she nicked one of his chocolate digestives ?

Completely the wrong final. Shortbread vs Maryland Cookies would have been an absolute belter

Needs to be a third place playoff with them two, which will be the REAL final

Or I could set up a vote for boarders to pick ONE champion from the final 16 (less Choc Digestives, Penguins and, say other "wrapped" items like Clubs etc - or other contestants that Choc Ds have beaten head-to-head) and see if a Repechage event between that champion and Choc Digestives might produce a different winner?

We did something similar up in Perth when we invented Bandoff, because we didn't like that Spandau Ballet won it

Reckon one of these could unseat Chocolate Digestives ?
