You didn't have to be a skilled lip reader to see Paul Scholes of Manchester United say that to an opposition player who rolled multiple times, screaming in agony after an inocuous challenge, before the player promptly got back up and started running around again.
Gay rights campaigners are outranged by this blatant "homophobia"...
Peter Tatchell, of gay human rights group OutRage!, said: "We urge Paul to apologise and to express his opposition to homophobia.
"No player, referee or fan should have to endure abuse about their race or sexuality.
"There should be big fines and match suspensions for players, managers and supporters who wilfully use anti-gay insults.
"Stewards should be ordered to identify fans who shout homophobic abuse and the Football Association should secure the agreement of the police to arrest and charge them."
Would it have been homophobic to have called the player a "drama queen"?
Where does it end?

If the insult had been racist, would you maintain the same view that it's an over-reaction?
