Mr O'Connell was interviewed on an online sports channel after Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-1 on 31 October. Mr O'Connell also called the Liverpool fans 'nasty, horrible people'.
Offensive words
Goldberg Segalla immediately put an end to his contract. Managing partner Rick Cohen said he personally recruits each lawyer in each office, in an interview posted on YouTube. He said: 'Clive O’Connell’s comments are entirely inconsistent with our ethos. His words are offensive - plain and simple. His conduct doesn’t rise to the standard to which we hold ourselves and for these reasons we have terminated our partnership with Mr O’Connell, effective immediately.' Source: YouTube
