I've heard the Ray Houghton 'Forward Roll' ticket package ads on the radio for the last few weeks, but tonight was the first time I'd seen one on tv.

It's a nice nostalgic (some would say cynical) ad - Jack Charlton narrates a quick run through of the High points of the last 20 years, and although I could give an arse about the association's golden ticket scheme that the ad is promoting, I wondered if I was hearing things during it - Theres a video montage (Duff's Bow to the Japanese crowd, Razors header etc..) and over Jason McAteer's orgasm-inducing strike against the Dutch at Home, I could have sworn Jack says "Remember  McAteer scoring against Portugal ?"

Now, I may be befuddled, as I was working on the PC with the telly on in the background, but as much of a gobsh*te that I am, Charlton has a bigger history of Gaffes than me, and the FAI an even bigger history than him...


Question is, was I hearing things? Did the FAI's publicity people give Charlton an incorrect script for the visuals? Or Did Charlton fluff the script and no-one had the balls to correct him?

Ah fair enough.

Pity. 1 - it's a good story ruined, and 2 - Im either partially deaf or insane.
