As social timelines across the land were taken over with news that Garth Brooks has cancelled all five of his scheduled concerts in Croke Park, Twitter has had some amusing things to say about the country crooner – and the reaction of the Irish public.
Our hearts go out to the blokes who ordered in 40,000 glittery cowboy hats to sell at the Garth Brooks gigs.

First person to stick up a "if only people cared as much about the economy as they do Garth Brooks" tweet deserves a wet salmon to the face.
