This is Anfield: The Steven Cohen boycott (Hillsborough 96)

[NewarkHensFan]

@Bystander81, sorry to offend you, Mrs. Cohen, but your husband is a piece of trash.

It wasn't just a one-off comment. He repeated his vitriol, unabashedly and unapologetically, on an Irish radio show a short while later.

If he had immediately said the following he might still have a job: "I screwed up. My mouth got going and I couldn't shut it up - I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I, in any way, caused offense to the survivors or to the families of the deceased from that tragic ev

[RussBeatle63]

@NewarkHensFan why should he have apologized to ANYONE? he told the truth. open your collective eyes to the mindset that followed the sport in the 70's & 80's....hooligans almost, repeat, almost destroyed the sport we love. How they can spin this 20 years later and go after a family and his livelihood SHOULD is mind boggling and shows me that hooligans have moved online. sad, very sad.

[NewarkHensFan]

This clown just got hired by ESPN...Boycott?

JFT96

YNWA

[Bystander81]

@NewarkHensFan Nobody in America cares. Even still, he shouldn't lose his entire livelihood over one dumb comment. Would you like to be judged for the rest of your life and have your employment hinge on one personal belief you have about something that happened at a sporting event 22 years ago? He made a stupid comment, he has a dumb idea in his head, whatever. People say things that are far more foul and disrespectful to far more people on tv and radio all the time with no consequences.

[teddy1066]

Steven Cohen is a disgrace.

[IWC5LFC]

JUSTICE FOR THE 96!!!

fed up with the lies and people not knowing anything about what happend. go and look things up before you comment.

[Kyriakoscash]

fucking how, kids die on  that day, fuking usa

[Bystander81]

@Kyriakoscash Yea, you're totally right it was a conspiracy by people in America to kill British children. Hillsborough was totally America's fault. Damn, you caught us...that was supposed to be sealed in the same file with the truth about the Kennedy assassination and UFO alien autopsies.

[gerrardnum8]

@LongevityMUFC Murderers ? What proof have you to make such a claim.

Should I call the pilot/crew of the Munich disaster murderers because they where involved ?

Learn the facts next time you loser !

[rockmanrock23]

@chugger2hotty -you are a strange person. please tell me you havn't had children. if you have ,good help them.

[theyardieman]

[yasmania2008]

fuck you bitch and all the hooligans from loserpool.world soccer daily is gone but world football daily is here to stay and there is nothing that you low life retarded pussies can do about it.someone also needs to show these two bitches on here what the spirit of shankly sang at one of their so called events.PURE ENGLISH HYPOCRITES I SAY.this is the great USA,so fuck off to your little island and stay there.

[gregtube88]

Ha! A dirty little septic tank coming out and shouting the odds. Get back in your basket, you silly little prick.

Very pleased to see that Cohen has been fired and forced out of his jobs, and is now unemployable. I hope he's living on the streets soon. I imagine he's going to have some long, long sleepless nights ahead of him, and he deserves nothing less.

[langerlee]

hahahaha nice one - cohen gone, wsd will carry on with nick geber. And the idiots that follow cohen (all 20 of them) will have to pay 10 dollars for the privledge. hahahahaha.

[jackisrantingagain]

you liverpool fucks, you lose anyways, WFD is on tommorow so everything you liverpool fucks fought for was in vain, hahahahah

[tottithebeast]

absolutely insane that he got fired and this lady is a crackpot. THOUSANDS of fans without tickets showed up to match and those ignorant fans are not to blame? give me a break. it was the same fans that got english sides kicked out of european competition just several years later.

[PennilessLlama]

clearly you haven't read the taylor report either?!

[gregtube88]

Wow. You know absolutely nothing about the Hillsborough disaster. Well done for revelling in your ignorance.

[chelseafutbol7]

WERE BACK!!!!! WFD here 2 stay

[oxygenpb]

This is great news! Just think how badly Steven mucked up. They had all those great endorsment and advertising deals and Cohen stuffed it up. I am delighted as a football fan that fans will not tolerate this.Kenny and Cohen know little about football and just blew hot smoke. Well done Liverpool fans for standing up for what you believe in. Cohen got ahead of himself and started to believe he was a star well now he is nothing. Feel Sorry for Kenny but he should Look at Cohen he lost him his job.

[tommyenglish1]

he's not american you stupid cunt

[tommyenglish1]

there you go gabrielstefan glad to see you know your wrong

[ericcollins81]

yeah he is dumbass he tooked his exam he is american hes british american

[tommyenglish1]

fucking hate liverpool

[tjq1992]

once again the dirty scouse bastards ruin a good thing for everyone else

ITS CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH YOU PIECES OF SHIT

[gregtube88]

Yes, Cohen had the freedom to express his lies, LFC fans had the freedom to express their disgust at his lies to his advertisers, the advertisers were equally disgusted and withdrew their money, and Cohen was fired. That truly is a victory for freedom of speech. Surely you should be happy about that.

[billuvill]

Totally agree with you, but no reason for threats.

[gregtube88]

Yeah, right. How many 'threats' do you think there REALLY were?

[RuncornianKopite]

You see I just typed in "Steven Co" in youtube and still the automated search couldn't find his name thats how much of a insignificant pissflap this guy is

[TheGoodMan19]

You are defintely a signicant pissflap. Go steal some hubcaps!

Go on now!

[sanmarco1]

how about this reporter making the comment about him being "some ammmerrican"

1- now you just look like a fool for not having your own facts straight while bashing on him for the same thing.

2- whats with the condescending tone asshole? in 20 or 30 years when we've actually put some of our sporting resources into it, american players will dominate world football. one more thing you'll be able to hate on america for.

[IlGino15]

Liverpool scum the lot of you. If one man can't make a legitimate opinion about Hillsbrough without having you scum abusing him and his family then it reflects discgracefully on your club, your people and your sense of democracy. You guys play the victims and come and do this - absolute disgrace the lot of you. Threatening children - animals!

[TheGoodMan19]

Poor, poor Victimpool. How my heart aches for you.

How did you like what Villa did to you. 21 and counting!!

I'd rather walk alone

[davidguyon]

What is this skag talking about?? Cohen didn't spread lies!? He gave his fucking opinion, the people in this stupid video don't even have their facts.....they call him an American, he's English who became an American. They call him a "shock jock" hahahaha, you say one thing that offends a group of people and they label you a shock jock to try and kill your credibility. Amazing. Get YOUR facts straight.

[TheGoodMan19]

Good Job, LiverNazis. If someone doesn't disagree with you, threaten their kids. Hope you got a big fucking sense of accomplishment out of this.

I'd rather walk alone!

[Dirtybittertwats]

You are walking alone you thick fucking yank!

[BHetey]

You know Steven Cohen is British, not American. Get your facts straight

[Dirtybittertwats]

Nobodys calling cohen a yank you fucking retard!

[amgmky1015]

Never had a reason to hate a football club but I now HATE LIVERFOOL SUPPORTERS! ( not team) going to the extent to threaten children u liverfool fags! Next time learn how dispute or resolve a Metter don't harrass children to do it pussies, bunch of butt hurt bitches! If I c anyone with a liverfool jersey I'm shitting on it.

[ManYooFooty24]

what a scouse cunt!

[camsredmen09]

I wonder if these so called people, would be happy for somebody to cheer and laugh and tell lies about their whole family

[gunnerfan69]

I wonder if you upset someone and they threaten to kill you, your wife, your children and your children's friends. I completely think a boycott is fine -- I think a hate campaign against someone where you threaten to kill them is a bit over the top to say the least.

[RuncornianKopite]

In regards to Heysel we know Italians are twats and it takes two to tango just have a think about that one....

[RuncornianKopite]

Hillsbrough happened for a number of reasons just some are the ground failed 17 breaches of the governments Green Guide that day there was previous crushes at the stadium in earlier years yet still Liverpool were given the smaller allocation why?, even the avid Man Utd fans respect Hillsborogh and the tragedy because it could have happened to anyone that day but Cohen the pathetic excuse of a "man" is ignorant to this and I hope he gets a fucking twatting someday for it because he deserves it

[faliu1]

All the death threats to Cohens family and anti-semitic insults tell you everything you need to know about the majority of Liverpool fans. Absolute filth of the earth.....your so-called history is full of blood. Heysel was no coincidence... I can honestly believe that drunken ticketless fans barged their way in that stand based on their apalling behaviour esp. in the 80s having been to Anfield many times,,,theyre scum of the universe.

[valefan10]

This Is Douchebag, more like.

So he pissed you off - A Chelsea fan taking the piss - Shock?

If your family members died in the tragedy - I feel for you. If you're a 'Pool fan who feels for your brethren - I feel for you too. Neither deserves hating on him for his religion, and threatening his family. If you hate him, don't listen. If you don't, keep doing what you're doing.

[flipper1500]

fuck off liverpool, cohen is the voice of american football and has been for 7 years, he has his right to free speech, thanks a lot for ruining the best football show in america, take responsibility and go back to norway you fucking kopites!!

[gregtube88]

Don't you mean WAS the voice?

[Bizarroisb00n]

Clearly your parents forgot about birth control. .

[RuncornianKopite]

I hope this greasy twat is forever looking over his shoulder for disrespecting the 96 and the rest of us Reds, opinions are opinions but to accuse with no evidence whatsoever your scum absolutely fucking scum

[chelseafutbol7]

how about u just got a crap load of people bent on ruining ur club ur a disgrace.

[90pause]

Thanks liverpool fans for ruining one of the best shows and probably the only decent outlet in the United states. Thanks ruining something great. Fucking cunts.

[camsredmen09]

I think he did that by himself ruined the show.

So how about we all told lies about your whole family after their are dead

[90pause]

Look, i completely disagree with what he said because i saw his comments as abusing his right to free speech. But you guys ( Liverpool supporters) took upon yourself to end a show that was the only thing we had when it pertained to an american perspective. Threatening his kids ( allegedly) is a fucking disgrace. Essentially you guys want censorship, and that is not something i support whether it is with liverpool fans or islamic fascist.

[mooeylfc]

Ha ha ha well done to all involved getting rid of this dirty vermin scum bag bastard, so long cohen you cunt...DON'T FUCK WITH LIVERPOOL FANS, MAY THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU ALL!!

[TheGoodMan19]

Cunt

[Dirtybittertwats]

Your the cunt pal, cohen got what he deserved, why can't you stupid fucking yanks accept that!

[dvsdallas]

How biased and one-sided! what about all the death threats to Steven's family? Piss off Liverpool Supporters Group from New York. You are disgusting and a disease on the game!

[expat64]

I wonder if she also knows about the threats to kidnap the two little girls in his life, or the death threats. Do you all condone that? Rather hypocritical... oh, that's right, it's Liverpool supporters we are talking about, hypocracy and double-standards are your middle names.

[iesteri]

dear liverpool faggs fans.. all of u just cant take dame reponsablity. and talk shit about steven just because ur stupid hillbor incident.96 pople died ok thats bad but u stupid scousers u make fun of pople who died in munich. u guys are ignorrant trhen u say stven is being inhuman while u make fun of him for beingv a jew then diniet? u ignorant bastards how sad can people get , btw the boycott is buch or jew hating naziz and HATE FREEdom of speech

[gregtube88]

Yes, Cohen enjoys the same freedoms that Liverpool fans do to express themselves. He expressed his lies, Liverpool fans expressed their disgust at his lies to his advertisers, the advertisers agreed he was lying vermin and withdrew their money. Cohen was fired. Simple really.

Isn't freedom great?

[kaleba]

he's gone!!!

[Freedomboy006]

i think its kinda weird how hillsborough disaster is being treated like a holaucost type of thing. its practically blown out of proportion. steven cohen ( love his show), was just giving his opinion on a topic that many people are misinformed about. Its not like he denied the Holocaust, which would probably have the same effect of backlash. he said liverpool fans were partially to blame. he didnt say "their the only one to blame'.

[kaleba]

How ironic that you're defendining him...while he would BLAST you for even bringing the Holocaust up in comparison.

[lfcyank1]

Steven Cohen is not American first off, Nor does he speak for the American football fan. We are few, but the true American football fan has to endure criticism from all ends and therefore has to be truly knowledgeable football and the team they support.

Bottom line is everyone is pulling out on Steven Cohen because no one likes him. If everyone was tuning in to hear what he said, HE WOULD STILL BE ON THE AIR. And hes a dick YNWA. Justice for the 96. Watch the CCTV footage and judge yourself

[dvsdallas]

He does too speak for the American fan you idiot! He just voiced an opinion, he had that right you wanka!

[gregtube88]

Yes, he absolutely had that right. Just as decent people everywhere had the right to call him out for being a liar and ask the advertisers to boycott his show. What could be more American than that?

Cohen made his own bed. I hope he's enjoying 'lying' in it.

[ibanez33150]

Steven Cohen is a chelski fan and his american and has NO CONNECTION to the team why even give the miserable cunt any attention?

[jackisrantingagain]

what a stupid cunt, if she new the anti-semitism being used by LFCNY & the U.S LFC supporter's group she may have a different opinion about this.

[96reds]

Proof?

[jackisrantingagain]

like you give a shit anyways, many u.s based pool fans have embraced the bigotry brought on by Mel & the rest of the fucktards

[goonercrew08]

Steven didnt do anything wrong except express his opinion in this politicaly correct world we live in now.Shame on LFCNY;and other politically correct oranizations for further contributing to the pc agenda.God rest the 96.

[kingofdaburbz007]

the taylore report huh? believing someone's statements who obviously was at the incident. thats laughable

[HoTEcuaBoy]

scratch my last comment, he's from london england. so looks like he wants to spread lies to hinder americans knowledge of football

[HoTEcuaBoy]

steve cohen is not from america, i think he's scottish but def not american

[chelseafutbol7]

1) You"ll never walk alone song/poem

2) The flames on your crest

3) Embed on those scarves

4) forceing game changes

Need i say more you scousers always try to pick fights like with Michael Shields 10years in prision... wheres the justice he deserved 50.

[Ianincali]

Do you know ANYTHING about what happened on that day? Of course you don't. Like Cohen you stick to lies. Have you read The Taylor Report, watched the CCTV footage, heard the SWORN testomonies of people there? Of course you haven't.

It is stupid people like you with your misguided & idiotic viewpoint that is going to keep this tit on the air.

Ban Steven Cohen. NOW!

[chelseafutbol7]

How can anyone not know about Hillsbourough you are constinently reminding everyone how you were the victoms. IDK who you guys are bkaming seems to me you think the stadiums design was at fault. there are stadiums with much smaller walking areas that doesnt have these problems. This is just how the scousers argue about everything you can.

[in2u2b]

you dont know what you're talking about. i see you're a 16 year old yank.........need i say more?

[hushg2000]

I love Cohen!!! Frankly Americans don;t give a shit about this whole situation. Freedom of speech is amazing in America, huh brits?!!!!

People are mad because he expressed his opinion?!?!!AHAHAHAHAH You guys would die if you live in the states if you are mad for something someone said!!!!hahhahaha

I love FONE IN!!! Cohen keep doing your job, you work for us now!!!lol

Pussies Euros, man up!! They are just opinions!;)

[wtfget101]

In the UK there was a paper called the sun who printed lies about hillsborough saying our fans spat and urinated on the police which is false and the paper was forced to apologize...isnt that fair enough? thats all we asked of cohen he is preaching lies as facts taking cheap shots at us we asked for an apology and all he did was chat more shit,my uncle and cousin were at hillsborough and im not having this cunt who knows nothing calling them murderers.

JFT96

[CappAttack]

Fault lays on a lot of people as well as designs. This isnt an issue on what he says its some Liverpool fans going way to far and attacking him because of who he supports (Chelsea F.C.)...SOME dont take that out of context its some not all. But please let the WSD and FFPI listeners go on enjoying his shows and lets forgive him on a poor statement and relise he was wrong on this occasion but is still important to futbol in america.

[wtfget101]

We dont give a shit who he supports it has nothing to do with it we just dont appreciate this twat telling a nation of people (Americans) who know nothing about hillsborough that scousers and liverpool supporters are murders

[hushg2000]

Who cares if they are lies!! Freedom of Speech not only does it protect you by speaking against the GOVT. But, it also gives u the right to speak ur mind. I believe the Brits are a bit too drama queenish about this subject... So he said something you don't agree with,.. that's life!!! If we prosecuted everyone who said stuff we don't agree with, we would have 90% of people with no jobs!!lol A senator in NY said yesterday, Micheal Jackson is a low life and a child molester! Should he be fired?lol

[wtfget101]

In UK you can walk up to the Queen and say "Fuck you" and nothing would happen i know about freedom of speech,in America Howard Stern got taken of the air because there are lines you dont cross and this cunts crossed it you gotta understand liverpools like one big family and our brothers sisters mums and dads were killed at hillsborough and we've got some twat on radio calling them murders how would you feel? we have been fighting for justice for 20 years and things like this just set us back.

[hushg2000]

Howard Stern is still given access to cable! He also has taken Sirus radio to different hights. The reason he was removed from E, was do to excessive nidity on a basic TV network. To this day he continues to be more perversed than ever before! Know one is having a titty attack over it in America.

[wtfget101]

You are just being ignorant you seem to know nothing about Hillsborough so you cant understand

[Ianincali]

So, hush, if I called you an inbred, dumb, redneck you would not be piised off because of my Freedom Of Speech? That it is 'life'?

Cohen's ficticious account & lies are libelous (look it up). Cohen is not the voice of football in America. He is just a stupid, arrogant fan of a second rate London team who can only dream of what Liverpool have achieved.

Google 'The Chelsea Headunters', you'll realize what type of 'fans' they are!

[hushg2000]

YEEESSSSS!!! TEll him what he won BOB!!!!... A free dicken in the shwatz with no KY!!:) Get over it redneck, it happens. There is no reason to get ass hurt over words!!

[gregtube88]

So glad you love Cohen. Shame you won't be able to listen to his show any more, huh?

[hushg2000]

Sirus!!!lol Freedom of speech!! He can say whatever he wants, i could care less for english soccer fans!

[gregtube88]

"Sirus"? Do you mean Sirius?

"I could care less" - surely you mean, "I couldn't care less"

You're not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?

(Oh, and you do know Cohen is no longer on Sirius either, right?)

[hushg2000]

Oh,...ok..."sirius",..a typo on the tube on a forum and you get all crazygirl on me?!!LOL

What a fucking tool you are.lol Getting all vaginal discharge on me for not including an "I" in "sirius"!!LOL YEah,..very sharp there mr.spelling b-champ!!lol

[gregtube88]

You really missed the point there, didn't you, you silly little boy?

[hushg2000]

Yeahhhhh,....I missed the point,... i'm guesssssssing you did aswell, little vagi!:)

[gregtube88]

Yap, yap, yap.

Get back in your basket.

[hushg2000]

Just when thought you couldn't get anymore stupid, you comeback to redeem yourself!lol

[joseoje10]

Well WSD is still on the air and i don't think americans care about steven's hillsbourgh comments. Here in america we have freedom of speech and the uk can't do anything about it. so liverpool fans just ignore it.

[wtfget101]

This dirty vile southern Twat needs to be taken of the air hes preaching hate and lies i dare him to come over from his little safehouse in America and say this shit to any of our faces that low life cunt hes scum who knows absolutly nothin but at least if he looses his job on that shitty radio show he can write articles for The Sun

JFT 96

[wtfget101]

listen tit believe it or not in England we have freedom of speech we invented it but this tit Cohen is spreading lies journalist and broadcasters cant be biased and cant mouth off calling people murders its fine if thats his opinon but he needs to keep it to himself the campaign to get him off air is gathering strength and i wouldnt be surprised if he was found chopped up into pieces in his bin anytime soon the dirty cunt deserves it.

[hushg2000]

But it's ok to call G.W Bush every name in the book and be ok with it?!!! Biased don't you think? Freedom of speech is more alive today in American than any country in the world. You can't just boycott something because you disagree with his opinions! If thats the case, we all be living in a "People Communism"!!lol Fire them because he said my is fat, when in fact she is not?!!WTF??? Sounds like a bunch of whinny ass people to me!

[wtfget101]

You stupid ignorant yank so if there was a Muslim on yank radio condoning 9/11 and calling for all Muslims to kill all none believers on american radio you wouldnt call for his head? America has freedom of speech whoop de do but you also have a lot of fat people and on a daily bases a black man seems to get shot by the police hmm...

[JackieMoon09]

that presenter is hot

[pearce102]

after less than a day he has $4660 in donations from his listeners to keep the show on the air. They still have great guests on (robbie earle, graham poll, tim vickery, and even some premiership managers) and most of the sponsors have stayed on. I think if sponsors were going to opt out of their contracts over this, they would have done so already...since this story is 3 months old now...

[onlyoneknight]

It stareted on June 1st and didn't pass $4,000 dollars until yesterday.

That's with a minimum contribution of $20.

So out of his millions of supporters only a maximum of 250 people have donated, given the current figures.

That's some support.

What happens next month?.and the month after?

[pearce102]

its now at 5400, and that's significant money for an operation with relatively modest expenditures.

in the long run, new sponsors come on board...ie. objectivo replacing who are ya designs whose contract expired at the end of the month.

also, they've just recently been put on x&m in addition to being on sirius.

it sounds pretty evident that if you guys had any chance at all of financially strangling this show to its death, that chance has already passed.

prove me wrong, but i'm skeptical.

[onlyoneknight]

I'd advise you to have a rethink there.

You say the show isn't being affected financially by the boycott.........so remind me how full Cohen's begging bowl is and why it is being passed around?

Oh and think back a week ago to his comments about being affected by the boycott.

As for him not being involved in the 'begging' site!

Don't be so naieve. He wrote the original appeal header....and the 2nd one.....possibly the 3rd and 4th too.

[pearce102]

and also keep in mind that this is an independent listeners fundraiser. WSD hasn't set up any money raising initiative of their own because of you guys. In fact, their shows are still available in full podcast for free 10 hours every week. I'll admit I was a little worried at first, but am unconcerned now as you guys don't have the influence i feared you might. although his opinion may be politically incorrect, he has the right to argue it.

[gregtube88]

You were saying...

Bye bye Cohen. I hope you enjoy your unemployment, and unemployability. I wonder how long till him and his 'family' are living in the street. Only a matter of time. Tick tock...

[castrota]

I support Steven and WSD. Here in America we have something called freedom of speech. Steven has apologized for some of his comments. I will not let some internet happy people from england. Destroy my favorite radio show.

[zebedee771]

Freedom of speech is cool. Is telling deliberate lies in order to tarnish another person's reputation protected by freedom of speech? I think you might want to check up on that for the next time you hear Steven beating that particular drum as a defence for making false accusations on his radio show.

[MoJo3446]

Does racism count as freedom of speech?

Does sexism?

FUCK COHEN

[AARP272]

Amen to that brother.

[sthelena1]

yet another one talking out of his ass

[dcfc405er]

couldn't agree more clutch

[djpitchperfect]

sure what the fuck are you on about dick brain! your fucking goverment shames the dead! uses the deaths of 9/11 to breed more hatred in the world! as well as sending your own people to the deaths...disgusting in its purest from.

[mossga]

Fucking cowardly internet hardman.

[billylfc93]

you are a stupid fucking cluless dickhead so fuck of

[sthelena1]

i think your mum dropped you on your head when you was born

[sallycinnamon9]

You sir are an ignoramous, are you Cohen in disguise???? Well done to everyone keeping pressure on Cohen - lies about the 96 will never be tolerated by us. YNWA

[Dreamindirk41]

my mate in the US watches FFF and world soccer daily, the man called cohen is a huge cunt yes he knows his football but hes a huge ignorant cunt with no knowledge bout hillsborough and heysel

[systemler]

you sick idiot......keeps your sick thoughts to yourself..
