Moyes sacking sees woman abused online in second case of mistaken identity

By Peter O’ Dwyer

If you didn’t fancy hearing about David Moyes’s departure from Manchester United today, Twitter really wasn’t the place to be as media outlets and fans alike reacted to the news.

Unfortunately for one user, Sarah Moyes from Scotland, she had no option to face a barrage of misplaced tweets from people mistaking her Twitter handle as that of the former United boss.

Sarah took to the social media site herself hoping that the new-found and unwarranted attention would all be over soon.

It’s not the first time the Falkirk native was on the wrong end of fans’ wrath - she was also singled out back in March.

New Yorker Ashley Van Buren, mistaken for former Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas, and Indian security analyst Ravi Visvesvara Prasad, mistaken for Manchester United and Holland striker Robin van Persie, contacted Sarah in what became a most unlikely support group.
