Long way to go yet to make the Finals, were only in to a group of 4 which means we have to win 2 one leg matches to qualify.
Hopefully we can do it and have the drama of 1990 re-lived all over again !   lol

... and a parrot!

Troy the parrot: Dublin Zoo name bird after Republic of Ireland’s hat-trick hero (https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin/2025/11/17/troy-the-parrot-dublin-zoo-name-bird-after-republic-of-irelands-hat-trick-hero/)

The sky is the limit for Dubliner Troy Parrott who netted a hat-trick to put the Republic of Ireland team into a World Cup playoff.

The same can be said for another Troy, a male citron-crested cockatoo, a critically endangered parrot species at Dublin Zoo.

Before now the parrot did not have a fitting name. On Monday, Dublin Zoo decided that they would name him in honour of the “hat-trick hero” Troy Parrott.

“There are very few moments that leave the people of a nation speechless but that’s exactly what Troy Parrott’s third goal did yesterday ... We just want to honour Ireland’s hat-trick hero – a Dublin native born and bred – in a way that only Dublin Zoo can,” said Diana Farrell, a zookeeper at Dublin Zoo.

... Dublin Zoo is offering a 50 per cent discount to any Republic of Ireland fans who wear green this weekend (November 22nd and 23rd).

Not sure he'd be any good at heading the ball!
