    I wholeheartedly apologise for insinuating that David Moyes should be slapped in the morning.

    I realise this is wildly sexist and incredibly inappropriate.

    It wasn't
    You're missing the point. You are trivialising abuse and sexism. It's little wonder that victims can take decades to come forth, if ever at all.

    David Moyes has been allowed an extension on his response to the FA, it was supposed to be in today, he's now been given until Monday.

    He's not going to be helped by some of the recent responses to tweets by football reporter Olivia Buzaglo...

    I haven't seen or heard the comment, but Moyes is a Scot, and is country men still walk around in skirts so what do you expect.

    Sunderland boss David Moyes has been charged by the FA after telling a BBC reporter she might "get a slap".

    I'm a bit late to this but I think they've got it right. It'd be a bit weak to make it a feminism issue (though I'm sure many will delight in doing so) but it's just a really weirdly aggressive thing to say. You can't go threatening people with violence for asking a question. It's even weirder to say it to a woman. Yes, yes, equality etc etc but in our society it is more strange and less acceptable to say to a woman than it would be to a man.

    It was always going to happen, a Premier League manager can't go threatening to slap people for asking questions, particularly not women.

    He didn't, it was clearly a joke. Everyone there knew it was a joke. A bad joke granted, but a joke nonetheless.

    You know, like they do on Top Gear.

    You should watch the footage. As BCC says, it was clearly intended as a joke, he quietens his tone and has a smile on his face.

    Which doesn't avoid the fact that it was a stupid thing to say and a terrible, awful joke. A DMD standard joke, in fact.

    I'm no Moyes lover but those were my thoughts exactly. People seem to enjoy blowing things out of proportion nowadays. It's becoming/has become a ****ed up sad world.

    Yeah I saw the footage, and in the context I think it seems really strange. I wouldn't say that, particularly to a woman, because it's just a weird thing to say. Like you say, a really poor attempt at a joke.

    He said something stupid, he's now going to get a slap on the wrist and a fine, it's no biggie really.
