2024/25 David Moyes

[MikeH72]

The sending off was stupid, unprofessional and irresponsible, and also the racist abuse is disgusting and alarming. They’re my thoughts.

 

[allen]

Yeah, he dropped a ball on that answer.

Not that I'm leaping to his defence - but there have been a few answers since he's come back where I've wondered if he's not heard the question properly, because the answer has run alongside the question rather than addressed it properly.

Take it you missed this then Dave. No racists are off the hook.

Doucoure was silly doing what he did whilst on a yellow.

Nah. Not having that in the context of racial abuse. He could have shown them his arse, it doesn't enter the equation around racism.

Racism needs calling out, alone. Condemned alone. No other "but" or attempt to offer of context.

I don't really like Moyes answer but very much this;

Stop reading so much into what managers say at pressers. They’ve all got weird turns of phrases that can be interpreted however people want. People got themselves tied in knots over Dyche mentioning if a player was fit or not, let’s not go down the same rabbit hole with Moyes.

 

[SJB]

He went off on a tangent when asked about the racism, missed a chance to put the spotlight on that fanbase and their behaviour.

This was the question and answer to give context so people can interpret as they see fit;

It’s a clunky reply to the question. I think he’s continued to answer the broader subject when maybe he should concentrated on the specific of what Guilia asked.

No, that's a different matter.

This is about Moyes's response, which was shocking in how lame he was.

Feller's a dinosaur. Any manager worth their salt would be on that and point blank making it all about the racists...but Moyes turns it round to make it about Doucoure.

 

[Neiler]

He doesn't like Cats either!

Aye I'd be pretty downhearted with that clip if I'm Doucoure.

What about the racist abuse?
He's sound, *rambles on he shouldn't have shushed them*

Nah. No good.

Agree

So is he missing the next game because he was racially abused?

The 2 things are totally separate.

Listen to the question.



He should have answered that specific question.

He wasn't asked about the suspension.

 

[MikeH72]

Jesus Christ the Dychettes are out in full force for this one now. Rabid hyenas that have just been thrown a piece of steak.

Doucoure was stupid and irresponsible and the racist abuse off the back of it should not be tolerated in any part of society.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

There is no alternative way to interpret that answer he gave.

He said it didn't give people the right to abuse Doucoure but if Doucoure had his time back again he wouldn't have done what he did.

Tell me how that's not pacifying racists.

The answer is fine.

Fair enough.

I don't watch pressers as I find them boring.
