Father Ted creator got fierce thick with an Irish journalist who criticised the hit show on Twitter

This is awkward

This is why we love Twitter.

Father Ted is a topic of conversation at the moment because the show is 20 years old this week.

The sitcom was being discussed on Twitter last night and Irish sports journalist Miguel Delaney was one of the people giving their two cents.

Delaney said he was a fan of the first two seasons, but not the third.

Fair enough, everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

However, Father Ted creator Graham Linehen who was tagged in the tweet took, how can we say this, he took exception to Delaney’s critique.

Delaney tried to elaborate on his opinion by tweeting Linehan directly, but the Father Ted creator was having none of it.

Well, that’s one way to end a conversation.
