Laughable.

It is laughable.
Just goes to show what a sad world we live in.
cretin. id like to give him a fecking slap
Well it was a silly comment to make, especially that "she will need to be careful next time she visits the stadium". She asked a legitimate question and his response was silly.
However, surely someone could have just had a word with him and asked him to apologize. What a waste of time and resources going through a formal charge process when it could have all been sorted with a quiet word. It's not like he's tweeting threats to North Korea
I'm guessing if i said that in work and anyone complained I'd be disciplined
Even if i had a joke with a woman in work and they didn't complain, but someone else did i would be disciplined.
I guess in her job there would be quite a lot of pressure on a female reporter not to complain about this sort of thing even if she was offended.
I don't think Moyes is sexist, but he's an idiot. I doubt any of the rest of us would make such a comment in such a public forum.
A storm in a bra cup.
If the FA came down on serious offences they would have some credibility in this, but they don't.
Is it only a problem if the person its aimed at complains? What if they feel like they can't raise it because they fear the sack if they do? I'm not saying that's the case here but you don't have to think hard to imagine places where it might be. Is it not ok for someone else to speak up on their behalf?
Yes definitely. Otherwise some will be taken advantage of.
But this, it is just nothing. The fact remains that if he'd said it to a man nothing would've been made of it.
The equivalent in my day to day life would be me being disciplined for making a joke with a fedex driver or something Really I am in work, I should be formal and professional, but I assure you the communications are not!.

This^ , I wouldn't have complained either, not unless I thought it was a genuine threat, I would have just laughed at him, if other people complained then they should mind their own business imo.
I'm imagining the same scenario on here, someone says something considered inappropriate to me, I laugh about it but other people report the post, what should admin do in that situation? I would feel pretty bad if someone got banned over something I was not even bothered about, I imagine that woman is feeling pretty awkward right now and a tad patronised.
It was the only right outcome. You can't got around saying things like that to anyone, especially when you're being filmed by national media, regardless of gender.

He apologised. That was sufficient methinks.
Stuff like this does my head in, people are becoming such big babies over trivial stuff.
For all the grief he got over this he might as well have actually slapped her.
It's blown out of proportion, and I realise the irony of me saying that after making about half a dozen posts in this thread, but having worked with bullies who think they're above punishment and can get away with passive-agressive intimidation, I think the minimal grief he's had is justified.
Though it's the 'she didn't complain' comments that I mainly disagree with.
