UncleBingo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 it's not even that she's a women, you cannot go around telling people you're going to slap them "Watch your letterbox hen" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 So he's basically joked that he might slap someone? I do wonder whether the cult of political correctness gone mad recognises that their ott 'you can't even say that anymore' protestations actually result in these things becoming stories. not just "someone" - he jokes that he might slap a women who was just doing her her job. she hadnt been rude. just pushed moyes a little bit. we complain when reporters give managers an easy ride - surely they should be able to ask them difficult questions, or to justify their actions without the threat (joke or otherwise) of being hit. dont think we'd put up with it if it was said to our partners at work.

cp40 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Isn't this comparable to the working people here, threatening to slap a customer next time if they question/ complain to them- can you imagine what your employer would do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. This tells me the pressure he's under tbh, losing again and he's tried to relieve it with a very very poor joke. Mourinho's the same, he snapped at the first question the reporter give him. Can tell he's feeling the pressure as them not qualifying in the top 4 is complete failure for man utd and got their previous manager the sack.

Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've met Vicki Sparks before through Total Sport, and she's quite canny. Moyes is clearly an arsehole though - should know far better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is an arsehole tbh. He's just horrible with words. He's made loads of stupid comments this season.

Ronaldo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 My ex's dad was from Bearsden, same as Moyes, and he used to give it the 'you'll get a slap' all the time. It's just something they say. Ridiculous it's actually being investigated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. She's a local reporter who he has spoken to many times and knows I'd imagine. Not like he just threatened some randomer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It was a daft thing to say, but nothing to twist about. Obviously the FA will be bowing to the pressure of the ultra left twitter mob. It's a disgrace Hun x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Clearly not the thing he should have said, however it's also clear that there is no sinister intent with it. He sounds more like a guy who is trying to make a risky flirticious joke that he can't pull off and fails miserably at doing so, than a guy who is seriously threatening someone. It's a slow news day though so it's going to be hot topic, had a manager got sacked or something then it would have 30 seconds worth of coverage, dismissed as a joke that they both understood and nothing else would be said about it. The Daily Mail comments though, fucking hell they are something else. If your wanting to stop sexism then that's where you should be investigating, people on there acting as if it's ok to bully people, let alone bully women.

Benwell Lad Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ill chosen words but really has UKPC reached a level where almost any kind of banter or joke between sexes can be be analysed and deemed inappropriate ?
