THE NEWS THAT all five of Garth Brooks’ shows in Croke Park have been cancelled came as a shock to many.

But so far, the absolute worst thing about the whole debacle has been overlooked.

What’s that, you ask? Well, it’s worse than you can imagine:

Now I have to think up a whole new birthday present for my mother.
