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).
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 !
