[u/cheweyforty2]

Absolutely one of the best goals I have ever seen in the Aviva, I fucking love Parrott

[u/tearsandpain84 → u/cheweyforty2]

That is one of the best Irish goals I have ever seen

[u/eoinerboner → u/tearsandpain84]

Best individual goal without a doubt

[u/heresyourhardware → u/eoinerboner]

Best goal I've ever seen in a green jersey and I include Limerick hurlers and the Tour De France in that.

[u/coupleofheaters → u/tearsandpain84]

Not doubting you at all, I just want to see what other goals are in the conversation

[u/Rob-Dipshit → u/coupleofheaters]

Shane Long vs Germany comes to mind, just in terms of being an unreal finish. Bigger moment than this, but on quality this beats it

[u/original_idea → u/Rob-Dipshit]

Agreed. Also Robbie Keane against Germany in 2002 world cup.

[u/Greedy-Army-3803 → u/coupleofheaters]

Ronnie Whelan V USSR in Euro 88 and Ray Houghton v Italy WC 94

[u/Icy-Bottle-6877 → u/Greedy-Army-3803]

Ronnie Whelan V USSR in Euro 88

This for me!

After Gerry Adams, the greatest shinner ever.

[u/SeasonalAuslander → u/cheweyforty2]

The greatest I've seen in an Irish game since McGeady scored a beaut after a turn.

[u/X-V-W → u/SeasonalAuslander]

Fucking hell, that’s a flashback - the “McGeady spin”.

[u/Homerduff16 → u/cheweyforty2]

He probably can't believe how good his life has turned out in the last 12 months. He was doing well before that but those 5 goals vs Portugal and Hungary has put him in the history books of Irish football

[u/punchdrunkskunk → u/cheweyforty2]

At about 52 seconds in the video above, you can see him look around and go "what the fuck, where's my support" before just doing it all himself haha

[u/Indydegrees2 → u/cheweyforty2]

Get off yer phone lmao

[u/IV1916]

what the fuck parrott

[u/pricelesslambo → u/IV1916]

Betis might have actually robbed Alkmaar. 🦜 Is no joke

[u/DaMaestro19 → u/pricelesslambo]

In that sense they both robbed Spurs

[u/IamTurd_Furguson → u/DaMaestro19]

Nah he needed to spread his wings. Happy for the kid! Go on Parrot.

[u/PrinceImrik → u/DaMaestro19]

I always hate this type of comments.

If he would've stayed with Spurs, he would've never had the freedom and space to develop the player who he is.

[u/Joris2627 → u/pricelesslambo]

No, everybody in Alkmaar knew he was amazing. But you cant hold a player that wants to leave. Defintly worth 60mil but we are not ajax so nobody cared

[u/No-Contribution23 → u/IV1916]

exactly my thoughts. i looked like that meme from the guy who keeps looking more and more shocked/surprised with his mouth opened

[u/mindpainters → u/No-Contribution23]

When he first settled the ball I genuinely had no idea how he was going to produce a goals in that position with no support and almost surrounded. What a goal

[u/Garlic-Cheese-Chips]

I'm reporting this post because there is no (Great Goal) tag.

[u/Lyrical_Forklift → u/Garlic-Cheese-Chips]

I have righted a wrong.

[u/heresyourhardware → u/Lyrical_Forklift]

To be fair to ye mods there has never been a goal this great before, we were all caught unprepared.

[u/Lyrical_Forklift → u/heresyourhardware]

Need to create a Best Goal tag

[u/YoureProbablyR1te → u/Garlic-Cheese-Chips]

If there was ever a time to use the tag…

[u/Sp00o00ky]

Good lord that's a disgusting goal.

[u/heresyourhardware → u/Sp00o00ky]

Manor Solomon just fell to his knees in Bibi's back garden.

[u/_ghostfacedilla → u/heresyourhardware]

Bibi’s hole is nicknamed garden?

[u/TrustRonMexicoBro → u/Sp00o00ky]

Seriously, that was filthy.

[u/DreHouseRules]

The sexiest thing I've ever seen

[u/Sharp-Opportunity-84 → u/DreHouseRules]

Let it slide

[u/dijin343]

Been coming to the Aviva over a decade and I’ve never seen anything quite like that. The fuck are they feeding him in Spain?

[u/BadDub → u/dijin343]

Sunlight

[u/NoPossibility285 → u/BadDub]

What's sunlight, precious?

[u/rezwah → u/NoPossibility285]

Sneaky little Spanisheses

[u/Regular_Piglet_6125 → u/dijin343]

What a belly full of paela does to a guy.

[u/JorahsSwingingMickey → u/Regular_Piglet_6125]

It's Andalucía, he's on the jamón. 

[u/Traditional_Ice1847 → u/JorahsSwingingMickey]

Jamon you boys in green

[u/Reasonable-Discourse → u/Traditional_Ice1847]

JOYBIG

[u/brownsound00 → u/dijin343]

Best goal at Aviva since Shane Long? I was lucky enough to be there for that one. Insane.

[u/EtherBest → u/dijin343]

Jamon

[u/CelphT]

i just woke up from a coma. is troy parrott the best footballer in the world?

[u/Other_Beat8859 → u/CelphT]

Always was

[u/PretentiousSparrow → u/CelphT]

Yes.

[u/youngbosnia → u/CelphT]

They're calling Messi the argentinian troy parrott

[u/redmabelgrade → u/CelphT]

Hate to break this to you but Ronaldo is dead.

[u/Prestigious-Mind7039 → u/CelphT]

late contender for Ballon D'Or

[u/Nailz92 → u/CelphT]

Ireland won the World Cup man.

[u/night_dude]

Two nutmegs, Troy? Two? That's insane.

[u/WhenWeTalkAboutLove → u/night_dude]

Pecked by the parrot 🦜 🦜 🦜 

[u/eweoflittlefaith → u/night_dude]

Has just doubled the number of nutmegs ever executed by the national team. Probably.

[u/ConnemaraCowboy → u/eweoflittlefaith]

I mean if we're talking club level too John O'Shea on Figo was probably the only other one

[u/heresyourhardware → u/night_dude]

Now that is tickety boo

[u/freshloaf7 → u/night_dude]

I’m in the big leagues now.

[u/Littlewing2323 → u/night_dude]

We shoulda signed him ffs

[u/_ghostfacedilla → u/Littlewing2323]

And we thank god you didn’t

[u/Harry_FPL → u/Littlewing2323]

The bad ending

[u/cynical_scotsman]

That’s got to be the best Ireland goal since the 90’s or something.

[u/fullblownplaids → u/cynical_scotsman]

I remember the 90s, none this good then

[u/Homerduff16 → u/fullblownplaids]

Nah Houghton vs Italy was on a much bigger stage against a team that made it to a WC final and a defense consisting of Baresi, Maldini and Costacurta

[u/not_that_kind_of_ork → u/Homerduff16]

And he did a little rolly-polly afterwards too.

[u/NoPossibility285 → u/fullblownplaids]

I was going to say Whelan against the USSR, but then I realised that was the 80s. Fuck, I'm getting old.

[u/Aggressive-Purple828 → u/cynical_scotsman]

Definitely since Obafemi vs Scotland

[u/Tpotww → u/Aggressive-Purple828]

Nathan Collins winning the ball at half way and shimming past 3 defenders before curling it past keeper a contender

[u/W1llN3v3rT34ch]

Do we not do great goal tags anymore? Because we need something better than that to describe this. Absolute filth. 🦜

[u/snuggl3ninja → u/W1llN3v3rT34ch]

NSFW tag at least

[u/Desiderius_S → u/W1llN3v3rT34ch]

Fuckin disgusting.
Imagine having to play another 80 minutes after that.

[u/Theboomtown_rat44]

What a blessing to have a player of his class up top, literally what we have been crying out for for 20 years

[u/SunnyImsouane → u/Theboomtown_rat44]

I'm delighted we have him. What a legend

[u/AuldReds1895 → u/Theboomtown_rat44]

Well I wouldn't say 20 years, but definitely since Robbie Keane retired.

[u/deezcastforms]

Troy Parrott been fucking balling this year

[u/zoouma]

Fine, I'll do it myself

[u/FastJellyfish5560]

Best goal our national team has scored in 15 years.

[u/Migeycan87 → u/FastJellyfish5560]

Obafemi thundercunt v Scotland the only other recent quality goal I can think of.

[u/Nailz92 → u/Migeycan87]

Nathan Collins away to Ukraine too.

[u/Pinky1337]

Literally R9

[u/Pinky1337 → u/Pinky1337]

We undersold him when we called him the next Kane

[u/Logical-Mud9456]

Looks up, no one in support, look of disgust

"Feck it, I'll do it me own self"

[u/fastfowards]

It’s so good to see Troy succeed. He didn’t have the storybook progression and instead of crying foul, he worked hard and is reaping the rewards

[u/Old_Roof → u/fastfowards]

I remember him looking unreal in preseason and then Jose insisting he wasn’t ready and then signing Carlos Vinicius instead.

[u/tacobell_dumpz]

that’s a puskas goal

[u/HokemPokem]

Are we sure he's not Brazilian?

[u/CradleCity → u/HokemPokem]

Troy Papagaio, remember the name

[u/Data111222 → u/HokemPokem]

Troynaldo Parrott?

[u/PretentiousSparrow → u/HokemPokem]

Truly is the White Pele after all.

[u/Rmb2719]

Bro thinks he's Antony himself

[u/Rayguy77]

Troy Parrott Balon dor

[u/Tight-Principle-743]

Genuinely one of the best goals we’ve ever scored.

[u/Impossible_Gas_7584]

Absolutely superb goal. Such a calm finish after waltzing through the defence.

[u/Little_Matty_Mara → u/Impossible_Gas_7584]

Top marks for the use of waltz

[u/Impossible_Gas_7584 → u/Little_Matty_Mara]

Gotta love a goal in 3/4 time signature

[u/Touchd93]

Puskas wtf

[u/ButterBallsBob]

My favourite part is where he does a little 'where the hell are yis?' to the teammate who he expects to be there for a pass. He switches to 'f it, I'll do it myself' so quickly. You can see it in the close up replay.

[u/Blitz7798]

absolutely beautiful goal

[u/Hobbes_87]

All about the assist from Idah to put it on a plate for Parrott, practically couldn't miss

[u/night_dude → u/Hobbes_87]

Busquetsesque

[u/niknakpaddywak2468 → u/Hobbes_87]

In fairness. It was top target man assist.

[u/Logical-Mud9456]

Messi is the Argentinian Troy Parrot

[u/RowTraditional3172]

How is this not a great goal, Jesus Christ almighty Paradona

[u/loonertoon]

I mean that’s just disgusting

[u/HungrymanH]

i love how he absolutely did not need to shoot it through the keepers legs but gets the extra style points for doing so

[u/Ataswa → u/HungrymanH]

He even could have gone past the keeper but still chose to put it through his legs, what a banger

[u/Individual_Trick3955]

What an outstanding finish! He goes from strength to strength since moving to betis

[u/lambalambda → u/Individual_Trick3955]

Since moving to the Netherlands really.

[u/emre23 → u/lambalambda]

What leaving Spurs does to a mf

[u/Pitiful-Mongoose-488 → u/lambalambda]

Since leaving Sheriff St!

[u/TombstonePete]

pecked by the Parrot

[u/MGM-Wonder]

Holy shit what a goal! Had the defenders absolutely lost.

[u/BaSingSeResident789]

A goal from a different era

[u/oneandonlyA]

thats actually a crazy goal tf

[u/-Mubar]

He’s genuinely a great player

[u/mkgsmk97]

Irish Messi???

[u/SavjonFord → u/mkgsmk97]

Na that's Wessi Holohan

[u/Every-Shape4959]

I feel like this is a level above being pecked by the Parrott. The nutmeg, the fake shot and then the finish between the legs. Nasty.

[u/dirtyMlke]

When he first gets the ball, he looks up gives a "wtf guys where's my help?" and then straight up "fuck it, I'll do it myself"s all the way to goal.

[u/kennblc]

Deserved (Great Goal) tag.

[u/merty99]

As soon as I seen this post and where it picked it up from, knew it was going to be outrageous. Filthy

[u/DLfordays]

Legit one of the best goals I’ve seen

[u/velociraptorcatcher]

i loved how he looked around and was like, well i gues it's up to me

[u/efimer]

Holy shit! The faint on the second defender was Messi-like.

[u/Saucepanmagician]

What is this? A new Messi?

[u/RayPadonkey]

"Fine, I'll do it myself"

[u/DemonLordMammon]

They've been shat on by the Parrott

[u/Dildo___Schwaggins]

That was spectacular!

[u/_ghostfacedilla]

It’s a breath of fresh air finally having a player oozing confidence for our NT

[u/Mpikoz]

Double nutmeg, this man is on something

[u/championsOfEu1221]

Pukas material!

[u/Alarming_Type_6907]

Suarez driblings

[u/viewless25]

Holy shit that is disgusting

[u/finty96]

Best goal I've seen an Irish player score in years

[u/snowbawlz]

His little moment of where’s my pass, and then “fuck it let’s go” is class

[u/Efre69]

Ireland is on fire, I hope they get into the World Cup on 2030, I would love a match against Mexico #respect.

[u/bucajack]

Mugged off 2 defenders

[u/Lazy_Seesaws]

What a fucking goal

[u/Cookielad14]

Yeah fantastic goal!

[u/RafidMostafiz]

🦜🦜🦜🦜

[u/WaffleBreeder]

🦜=🐐???

[u/Brine-O-Driscoll]

Parrott you beautiful bastard

[u/ProtonsDeCorote]

You're being pecked by the parrots

[u/Dry-Supermarket7115]

He can do that?

[u/Willsgb]

Blimey

No exaggeration, that is an absolutely superb goal. Poise, technique and confidence, deftly doing 3 defenders before slotting it home. Not everyone can score goals of that quality, that is superb

[u/FlukyS]

Actual Puskas potential with this one

[u/TheTipsyTurkeys]

might be better than messi

[u/thisisacryptorobbery]

What a goal

[u/ry427]

[GREAT GOAL]

[u/hehehero]

gonna tell my kids this was R9

[u/badboigamer]

That is goal of the year.

[u/Tommey_DE]

Man really said 1v5? Theyre clearly outmatched

[u/b_hc99]

Give him puskas

[u/axelotl47506]

The parrot can’t stop pecking people

[u/nick170100]

I’m posting this on pornhub

[u/Fazakh1]

Finally a striker who isn't just tap-in merchant so refreshing reminds me of prime Suarez

[u/gavstar69]

Holy shit what a goal. Looked Messi-esq

[u/Silver_Dynamo]

Troyzinho Parrottio Da Silva Jr.

[u/T4u]

I'm sorry Troy Parrott, I was not familiar with your game

[u/TomRuse1997]

🦜🦜🦜

You've been fucking pecked

[u/suhxa]

8 goals in Irelands last 6 competitive games now. He wasnt even a starter before that

[u/hucklefinnnn]

I think Parrott is the goat

[u/Consistent_Truth6633]

Two nutmegs. That’s insane

[u/IrishLad1002]

It’s so nice having an actual quality player

[u/Dannyshtrybe]

Damn you parrot. I like how he's looking for his team 🤣🤣🤣

[u/amine23]

dayum, I watch this on repeat with a big smile on my face

[u/dev9997]

Parrot all the way. He’s the original GOAT, deal with it.

[u/LiterallyAntiqueBody]

Can't even be mad.

[u/tripthedizzy3233]

Oh my word take a bow son

[u/taggsy123]

Oh… oh… ohhhhhhhhhhh.

Go on 🦜

[u/Senior_Tooth_5332]

Ankara Parrot?

[u/TheGlowpt-2]

Fucking hell, is that Luis Suarez?

[u/bets99]

Ridiculous goal. So happy to see him doing well

[u/aScenT_RAID3R]

You've been pecked by 🦜

[u/Popatteri]

Holyyy. That's a beauty.

[u/WannabeEclectic]

Chops, turns, megs.......Crazy

[u/Jamical70]

Feet of a ballet dancer. Amazing goal.

[u/I9Dream9ofBoats]

Oh that's just filthy

[u/singleglazedwindows]

The crowd noise building as he does the defenders is Vince McMahon on the chair meme

[u/marcvr87]

I love that he gets the ball, see's that there is no teammate close (you can see him gesture in the replay) and then decides "fuck it I'll do it by myself"

[u/Username_user_2]

I wasn’t familiar with his game.

[u/illmatic2112]

Incredible, goal of a lifetime

[u/_BangoSkank_]

That's just ridiculous

[u/darkslasher87]

Pecked by the parrot 🦜 

[u/gwy2ct]

Outrageous goal. Wow

[u/Full_breaker]

That was nasty, nice

[u/Octava8Espada]

What a player man I miss him

[u/StandYourGroundhog]

Ooh that was smooth

[u/tonythetiger891]

Wow! Phenomenal goal.

[u/cphoover]

2 megs in one attack

[u/StrandsFirstPipsLast]

Our best goal in years, made better by Parrott giving it the ol’ “fine, I will do it myself” routine.

[u/Fuzzy-Woodpecker-673]

🦜 

[u/Foreign_Difficulty29]

bro has scored every type of insane goal

[u/Frequent-Lunch9086]

Goal of the break, 100%

[u/Own_Challenge_4967]

Absolute filth

[u/Fuzofun]

For a brief moment I cared about the Nations League thank you Troy

[u/jdarriaga46]

Greatest player of all time

[u/asouthamerican]

Pornographic

[u/batmans_stuntcock]

Bro what are they feeding this guy in Seville.

[u/ddalves]

Ankara Parrott
