8.5 is my mark out of 10 for that dreadful dive by Will to try and get a penalty.
Why do they do it ?

Surprised ref didn't book him for it
The worst aspect of football these days. The only excuse is that when players do stay on their feet, they'd need to be attacked with a chainsaw before a ref would give a penalty.

That ref today or rather his assistant on the west side wouldnt have given it even then.

I was embarrassed. He had practically got round the defender as well, who knows what would have happened if he had kept his feet.
Reminded me of Andy Kennedy days.

Embarrassing, shameful, bizarre, and embarrassing.
Ironic, isn't it? We slagged off Buckley for falling over with the slightest at Selhurst 2 years ago and you lot absolutely slaughtered Zaha for diving and actually still do.
How will you react to another Buckley dive? I'm not fishing, it's a genuine question.

Diving is unmanly.

He had already lost the ball and was trying to make a goal out of it somehow, he is a Brighton player trying to get his team back on terms anyhow he can. And I like everyone else would have celebrated it if he had pulled it off. It happens all the time. Stop being so precious ffs

Blatant penalty, ref was shocking not to give it.

He annoyed Grimsby Town fans in 2005 when he awarded Darlington two suspect penalties and also red carded 2 Grimsby players in a game at Blunder Park. Grimsby Town put in an official complaint to the Football League and requested that he never refereed a Grimsby Town game in the future.
Diving is shameful regardless of the club the players turns out for. Having said that I'm hardly going to be screaming abuse at him next time he plays. A way to reduce diving perhaps would be to reduce the size of the penalty box.

Thanks Greens :(
Ujjoa had a pop with one as well, and actually looked affronted when nothing was forthcoming. It is gamesmanship of the worst kind that sticks out like a sore thumb 
I don't think anyone's being precious. It was shit and embarrassing. I think it's great that BHA fans are suitably unimpressed by it and are willing to say so.
Having said that, the Long haired Wigan lads dramatic triple roll was almost as bad.

A way to reduce or even stop diving would be to show a straight red card. This would have an immediate effect.

Stupid IDIOT
Had to laugh as the linesman on the West Side is a manager on the railway, imagine the meltdown if he had give a controversial decision

If I remember rightly that occurred at a corner where Greer ran across the penalty box with a Hull player wrapped around his waist trying to stop him.
