Parrott out of luck as Republic of Ireland draw with North Macedonia

Troy Parrott had two goals disallowed as the Republic of Ireland played out a stalemate against North Macedonia on the night on which they had hoped to book a trip to the World Cup finals.

Five days after their dreams came to an end for another four years in Prague, Ireland drew 0-0 with the Macedonians in a friendly encounter neither side wanted as the Czech Republic and Denmark fought for the big prize.
