I'm quite sure the multi-millionaire can put up with a paycut. Interestingly he could have announced this when he left but only did when Real cooled their interest.
I don't think he would have gone to another premiership club to avoid playing against Man U.
All he needs to worry about now is if Man U and Celtic are picked in the same group for the Champions League next year.

From the Laws of the game...
Gaining an advantage by being in that position means playing a ball that rebounds to him off a post or the crossbar having been in an offside position or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in an offside position.
Though this leads me to believe that a ball which is deflected by a defender (not deliberately played) should be offside as well. I can't remember the Liverpool goal so not sure which case it was.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
CHELSEA v Barcelona
Real Madrid v ARSENAL
Werder Bremen v Juventus
Bayern Munich v AC Milan
PSV Eindhoven v Lyon
Ajax v Inter Milan
Benfica v LIVERPOOL
RANGERS v Villarreal
(Ties to be played 21/22 February and 7/8 March)
Good possibilities for Rangers and Liverpool to progress there I reckon.

I was there at the time and wasn't sure if Morientes was offside. But looking at the replays he was offside when the original ball was played through, hence he was still offside despite the defender's touch (which doesn't matter, despite what people think).

Surely it matters if the touch is deliberate?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
it's just so inconsistent though in one match it was ok in another it was off-side.. even the commentators don't know as Andy Gray said one was ok and the other was off-side
i wish they'd just stick toif you are off-side you are off-side

Looking at the draw, it could have been Utd V Liverpool if we had got through instead of Benfica!

Well if the defender had controlled in, then passed it to Morientes, of course he wouldn't be offside, but the header clearly wasn't a deliberate action.

Do you have an video of the incident? If he headed the ball rather than the ball hit him on the head then its sounds a deliberate action to me.

Not true, you can't play a team from your own country at this stage of the competition.

It is true. A country can only have 4 teams in the competition. When Liverpool were allowed to compete because of that law they didn't get country protection. How else do you think they ended up in the same group as Chelsea?
