Nice subtle assist for Parrott on Saturday.

1-0 win away to Telstar, highlights here.
Cracking save in the first reel

21st club goal of the season, which passes out last season's total, but AZ 3-1 down at home to NEC after an hour. The winners move into the Champions League spot.

All the more impressive that he's continuing to score goals in a team that aren't playing particularly well and have recently sacked their manager. How many would he have scored for PSV this season?

**rebelmusic** · 31/01/2026, 5:39 PM

I watched most of the second half and he is by far they're best player. They'd be in a relegation fight if it wasn't for Parrot and that's an insane ROI from one player

Coincidentally, given that I mentioned PSV above, it's being reported this morning that they had an approach for Parrott rejected by AZ this month. Think that could have been a great move for him actually - he would have gotten to play for a dominant PSV team in the Eredivisie and played Champions League football every year as well.

At this stage that would feel like a sideways move. Hes already played for 2 clubs in that league so its time for him to level up when he gets his next move

He'd be playing Champions League and winning trophies so I wouldn't say it would be a sideways move. If he ends up in Italy or Spain he could struggle to adapt or score goals at a higher level and it might impact on his Ireland form. Whereas I'd be confident that he'd be a 25 to 30 goal a season man at PSV and would likely come into Ireland camp in good form time and again.

Obviously there's more money to be made elsewhere but, from a selfish Ireland supporter point of view, I'd like to see him playing somewhere where I know he'll score goals and stay in form.

As an Ireland fan I want to see him playing well in a higher profile league thats more enjoyable to watch. Holland is a bit of a backwater from a tv point of view so its hard to see him play every week.

If he moved to Celtic and was playing in Champions League every season you wouldnt be too impressed

**Eirambler** · 02/02/2026, 9:02 PM

The Eredivisie is a much stronger league than the SPL though. And PSV are a much stronger team than Celtic.

**pineapple stu** · 02/02/2026, 9:54 PM

There's a point there in fairness that it'd be good to see him move up a league rather than a rank within the same league. Yeah, PSV would hopefully have Champions League football, but the rest of the season would be the same.

(Good to see RLP back after being quiet for so long lately btw!)

A beautifully simple goal well-executed.

**Fixer82** · 03/02/2026, 8:01 PM

Has an assist tonight

**Razors left peg** · 03/02/2026, 9:11 PM

Has a goal in extra time now too

**Kingdom** · 04/02/2026, 11:08 AM

Highlights here. That's a very clever headed assist and a lovely strikers finish (happy RLP? :-) ) What i liked most was the last minute where he's supporting a breakaway which dies away wide and with 4 teammates (madness) exposed ahead of him immediately spots it and sprints back to cover. deep into extra-time. brilliant stuff.

Hopefully they can get telstar or gay in the semis.

Seems their main keeper was back too.
