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

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.

@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.

@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

@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.

@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.
