    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.

    Are you joking?.

    I mean, people would be being fired all day every day if this we started disciplining employees over harmless jokes.

    I'm not sure what line of work you are in, but if I was giving a formal presentation and threatened to slap someone for asking a difficult question I'm quite sure I'd need to explain myself to my boss shortly afterwards.

    Only post match interviews in football are not formal, at all. Moyes is not making a formal presentation to customers or shareholders, he is doing an off the cuff interview.

    And often interviewer make jokes.

    Lets be honest morals and football went out the window many moons ago.

    Managers treat officials like dirt to no outcry or punishment.

    Professionals in name only.

    It was a joke. A pretty bad one but still.
