12 people who were trapped in Garth Brooks hell last night

Will nobody think of the Ronan O’Gara documentary?

LAST NIGHT OUR two national broadcasters went head to head with documentaries about……

….Garth Brooks.

RTÉ went in with all dramatic guns blazing with their documentary entitled ‘Tomorrow Never Came’, while TV3 were a little more restrained, going with ‘Garth: What Went Wrong’.

TV3 had moved their programme forward by one day and one hour (What Went Wrong was originally due to be broadcast tonight at 10pm) in order to compete directly with Tomorrow Never Came. RTÉ had moved a documentary about Ronan O’Gara in order to broadcast their Garth special.

People were not happy. Not happy at all.

They were mocking

Thousands of Garth Brooks fans left devastated as poor planning sees two documentaries aired at the same time #rte #tv3

Apparently 5 more channels wanted to do #GarthBrooks documentaries tonight but they settled on just 2 #tv3 #RTE

There were the ones who were embarrassed

Just watched the Garth Brooks special on rte. If it is, as one woman said, 'what we'll remember about 2014', this year could be a write off.

The ones who still had questions
