Ben Cousins gives the finger

[bnz500]

GO PIES

[12Porty]

Andy Mahor YOU COCK SUCKING CUNT! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SPEAK WITH THAT PATRONIZING TONE! YOU CUNT

[RichmondHasArrived]

These two were the only ones offended by it.

[RoguePuppyTrader]

The guy's getting psyched before a match, ready for war. Chrisso and faggot commentator, go fuck yourselves.

[ohfmuc]

lol, i do that all the time. It's for the boring fukheads who sit in the dark offices watching it and fondling themselves over internet porn. Yes I mean you "the fat Security guys".

[jackbanpk]

making a mountain out of a molehill

[whiskey01]

the commentator on the right is a fucking faggot ass mutherfucker ! needs his head punched in the 4 eyed speech impediment fuck !

[MsMacca1968]

good on you Benny boy

you sexy boy

[Linc07]

thats to the dockers fans cause they boo him

[damo24now]

he is telling andy maher to duck off and go lick some carlton arse like he always does

[DeanGeyer]

I think he's pissed off because he isn't on any drugs. No more coke, meth, Valium, or Viagra, it takes time to get over these bad boys.

[xtam092]

@DeanGeyer i doubt he was on valium or viagra dude.

[DeanGeyer]

@xtam092 lol, it was what they actually found in his car when they did that highly publicized search. "the police having found quantities of prescription drugs diazepam, Viagra, oxycodone and Caverta, and traces of ecstasy and cocaine on a $20 note in the car" - he went to rehab for the cocaine and crystal meth though. I don't know how you can be addicted to both cocaine and crystal meth, crystal is 3.5 times stronger, you don't go back to coke, but he did a 5-day coke run in LA before rehab. ha

[DeanGeyer]

@xtam092 diazepam = Valium. He probably used the Valium to comedown from the uppers, and Viagra to help with the "crystal dick". Hopefully thats all gone away now, lol.

[jhardyrules13]

@xtam092 hahaha he was on vallium dipshit, ever seen his documentary??? hahaha dumbass

[xtam092]

@jhardyrules13 haahha look when my comment was posted, 3 months ago, that's around 3 months before his documentary was released dumbass! lolol

[bringbackfev]

why ? simple people who are on drugs do stupid things

[kendall88888]

at Rex5556

bingleee??

[SkilledStadium]

Classic...

[kendall88888]

everyone does that when getting a photo taken these days

i think its fuckin hilarious

[Rex5556]

@kendall88888

Bingle!!!!!

[tyzahowlz]

clearly the finger gesture is aimed at the media who harass him daily. fucking journo scumbags. benny cousins is a champion. not the last bloke to have a problem with drugs i can think of heaps of celebrities. if i could punch a newsreader or cameraman in the face i would.

[uraniumdeath]

I reckon this was the most over-stated incident of the year almost...

Who cares if he gives the finger? Nowdays, that is almost considered good manners.

The media never help, showing every little snippet.

I don't barrack for Richmond or West Coast, but leave Ben alone and find something real to report...

[82Howler]

the question should be ... why did the tv producers air it? They have multiple cameras showing on their screens in the production office ... why switch to that?

fuckwits

[dogga696]

fukin legend!

[cawzzaa]

the players hate the cams in the rooms. why dont we put it in a netball changeroom... then how will you like it.... GO WEST COAST =P come home bennni

[dustylee72]

@cawzzaa

I agree. It was done in the privacy of the change rooms. If it so offensive why show it. It wasn't a live shot. The producers at fault there. Carn the Eagles. Benny come home for a super annuation season.

[HackerMan535]

@cawzzaa suck he retired besides he was a fuking drug addict

[ashad5000]

mad dawwg...fuk the haters..cousins 4 life...fuck em

[danniz69]

freo scumbags

(L) cuzzy and west coast

[dj6658]

he is tapping this old mother so hard and she is not even a milf,

what happened to sam druce, oh who cares she is an ugly slag too

[Americanpartybomb101]

who saw the tigers game a week or two later, they showed benny walkin into the rooms before the game, he turned back at the camera, looked away, then looked bak with such a sly smirk on his face. waz hilarious.

legendary

[AUDKATCAJ1]

go tigers!

[dj6658]

Sam Druce is a gold digging ugly mole

[dogga696]

benny cousins is my idol!! wat a fukin ledge

[jarrrod900]

why would he do that when hes got so many suporters and pretty much tellen to just piss off

[jonquildrelnort]

He is giving the bird to the media and rightly so...he was daring them to put it on air and they took the bait...again...Shame on Channel 10 for showing it!!..they just cannot wait for him to do something.. anything...He must laugh at the circus that surrounds him and he has proved them to be fools again....Onya Benny!!! Go Tigers!!!!

[phoenixtwiggy]

@jonquildrelnort exactly right that happened hours before the game and thy went through all the footage just to make him out like a bad boy.

[ezza187]

champ

[TheViolentTeddy]

Ben is an absolute arrogant pig. He brought all of this on himself. Why blame the media? He put himself in this position... no one but himself. The media may keep handing him the rope, but he's the one that keeps turning it into a noose and putting it around his own neck!!

[totalkiller555]

the media kill the bloke, im not suprised he's as arrogant as he is he has atleast 5 cameras minimum on him a day, lets not forget he was never charged for anything just a scape goat for the AFL...

[amyliz2211]

if ya hate him so much why waste ur time comlainign bout him, ur obviously one of those people that would complain about sam newman or the chasers or gordan ramsay or anything u can get ur hands on get a fuken life!!!

[TheViolentTeddy]

Before you hit "post comment", why don't you check your spelling. Just makes you look as stupid and ignorant as ben cousins!! Plus, I actually like Sam Newman, don't have a problem with the chasers, and really hate gordON ramsay. And, it's a free country. I can complain about ben cousins as much as I want. And nothing you can do or say will stop me.

[amyliz2211]

a typo here and there doesnt make me look stupid idiot, how old r u? ur acting like a bloody 14 year old.

so u like sam newman but hate ben cousins?? i think they both do the same thing except ben gets publicised more.

[leanda27]

i reckon he would never had done it if it were against the eagles. i believe him .he played upto the cameras. u can see he could wait to get back over to the east. he is booed so much here that i am starting to feel sorry for him.little kids will be a bit confused bout his behaviour but they are gonna learn it at school anyways.

[xxindeedxx]

10 should've been fined for showing that.

It wasn't live tv. They should have not shown it.

Typical media crap.

[totalkiller555]

good call

[totalkiller555]

what i find amazing is that A) for some reason this incident happen and HOUR AND A HALF before the game...and somehow the tv station thought it be a good idea to put it on tv...they put a noose around the blokes neck...if it was half an hour before the game...then yeah maybe he is a dick but an hour and a half? and B) if it wasnt ben cousins that did it and was some first year rookie player whats the bet it wouldnt have even gone to air? fuck off Australian media! your a laughing stock!!!

[NoPlaceForLoafers]

Why would he do it?

Cos he's a football playing fucking moron and the media and football public love him.

Why would anyone expect any more than this? Footballers are the academic under-achievers and we wonder why they have no social skills?

What's he going to call his industrial bin company when he retires from football?

Wake the fuck up Australia!!!

[ham2470]

how is this news?

[mynameisllewelyn]

funny as ahahaha

[1britto1]

who the fuck are you talking to or about?

[1britto1]

to all you AFL supporters out there, your administration lets a player back into your sport after he should have been kicked the fuck out and his repayment for that is giving the supporters ie "you" the finger?to fixxxerau below he stopped being a normal bloke when he started playing AFL.kids need role models maybe its you who needs to grow up!

[fixxxerau]

Im a crows man, but benny is fast becoming one of my fav players, coz he's a normal bloke. anyone who finds this finger incident in bad taste or are offended are weak as piss, and should stop carrying on like a toffee wanker. Grow up dickheads!

[50surfer50]

WA MEDIA GROW UP AND LEAVE BEN ALONE!!!

[wesma57]

Love your work Benny. Give these clowns something else to get sanctimonious about.

[Poseren]

I just love how the media condem him for doing it on national television and yet they keep showing the footage over and over and over again.

Maybe the CEO should ask the media for an apology and a please explain.

There would have been only tens of thousands of people that actually saw it. But now millions have seen it thanks to the news.

[utoobe000]

i fucking hate the media, its just a god dam finger, in which even the Police have stated that it isnt classified as ''offensive behaviour'' he has let no one down with what he did, and its funny that the only people that seem to be annoyed is the stupid media, and these 2 geezers should shut their mouths for god sake,

and i also hope that richmond dont exactly tell him off and just to watch what he does, cause every media person is watching him

[Worraps1989]

HAHAHAHA! I love it how he is chewing gum as well, lol its so awesome.

[dinoodlez3]

Shut Up!

[Worraps1989]

How about you shut up!

[dinoodlez3]

(Gives Worraps the finger while Chews Gum)*

[Worraps1989]

HAHAHA, damn, good one! I should have thought of that lol

[MaZerati88z]

yes u shudve but you DIDN'T!

[Worraps1989]

shut up

[50surfer50]

You have very bad language for a child and as a Mum I

feel very sorry for little boys who cant speak properly!!!

[ryanlawson88]

at least hes not raping chicks like the nrl boys haha

[damo24now]

who cares. the media made this bigger than it should have been. they made his first game back in perth a massive occasion. it's as if the pope was coming to town. it wouyld have been something to write about if it was against the eagles. not freo.

[jafun23]

he's a waste...

[thoul11]

who cares, its just a finger?

im sure every single person who views this has done it at least once in their lifetime,, why make a big deal out of it?

[maxyoz]

Like they said, it was an hour and a half before the game, hardly live footage. Channel 10 chose to show the footage, they are to blame, not Ben Cousins.

[RobMackenzie]

It's a camera in his changing rooms for gods sake. I found it entirely appropriate.

[Dockermark2]

I am no Benny fan...but he did this because the media are a bunch of sanctimonous prats who wont leave him alone.

[footyheadluke]

haha

[xBilabong69x]

nice one benny =)!

[sedders123]

sanctimonious bullshit from the two biggest tossers in the media

[BCT071]

Who gives a shit?

The AFL obviously prescribe to the idea that any publicity is good publicity and will milk this for all it's worth.

The guy is sending a clear message to the media which they thoroughly deserve.

Ben's no angel and i don't approve of the personal choices he has made over the years but really ,can we just stay focused on the game.

On the field he's a champ and off it he's a chump.But who cares?

[Mticen]

what a legend

[Andyburv92]

wat he did was fair enough.....he has the media all over him all the time, and 90 minutes before a match he can't even walk through his changerooms without a camera following him

[qweentartii]

Yeah but.....the camera wasn't following him. There have been cameras in the change rooms at Subiaco for years. Which, obviously, he would know.

[Andyburv92]

the camera moved with his every step...he only pulled the finger when it started to move onto him....and the blame should be on channel 10 for showing it as well, if it was 90 minutes b4 the match they didnt need to broadcast it

[318tommie]

GOOOD STUFF BENNY ! (Y)

[Americanpartybomb101]

Why ppl takin this seriously?? Hu cares. I find it funni. Cuz is a G

[yoslammer]

When you kiss the dudes ass flat out for years on end, even when he fucks you over again and again... what kind of respect do you think he has for everyone?

[ruffian1868]

Victorian Football media.........GROW UP !........toddlers do this at the playground you fools !

[gbaly1]

I'm pretty sure was showing how well his hand had healed.

[yoslammer]

thats classic. haha

[ex0nic]

And of course Channel 10 had to show it. Fuck heads.
