The daft buggers have targeted some woman on Twitter with the same surname. LOL
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... er-6886980Manchester United’s beleaguered boss David Moyes has been getting plenty of grief from fans blaming him for the club’s performance on the pitch this season.
And so has a Scottish comedy club worker who happens to share his surname.
Sarah Moyes, who uses the Twitter handle @moyesy, has been bombarded with tweets mistaking her for the manager or his daughter since he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson last year.
Fed up of fans venting their fury at her after Tuesday’s 3-0 derby defeat, the 27-year-old pointed out she was no relation and politely asked people to stop.
But her message went viral after it was retweeted nearly 5,000 times - including by football legend Gary Lineker to his 2.25m followers.
Sarah - who has a brother called David - said: “It just went crazy after that.
“Most of the messages are jokey ones like ‘tell your dad he should be sacked’.
“But there have been a couple of really horrible ones.
“I had one that called me quite a few horrible names and told me to die, that was pretty extreme.
“There have been quite a few messages saying ‘just change your name’, but I’ve been called Moyesy since I was a teenager.”
Sarah, who lives more than 200 miles away from Old Trafford, in Falkirk, has been branded ‘a disgrace to MUFC’ by one fan demanding her resignation.
She has also been accused of ‘ruining Man United’ with her ‘useless tactics’.
Other tweets were more measured - one called on the club to give her more time but questioned why she was playing Juan Mata on the wing.
