And nobody has noticed yet, but Troy Parrott is already moving towards goal from the edge of the box. You can hear the Irish players’ howls and screams over the distant roar of the away fans way up in the top tier. The last 15 minutes of this game are the most astonishing quarter-hour in Irish football history. Has any Irish team in any sport undergone such an incredible transformation of its image in the space of a few weeks? Another sensational goal in what – really – must be the best four days an Irish player has ever had.
