Check out a replay of the game if you get the chance, he does an even worse dive, classic Drogba, earlier on.

Dann's intention was to get the ball, as unlikely as it was to happen. It was a foolish, last gasp type challenge.

I agree 100% ChVint.
I feel the dive did tarnish the game, and I don't feel happy about the result at all. The only reason we scored our 2nd goal was because Chamakh is a filthy diver. Carr didn't clear the ball when he had the chance, just incase Chamakh nipped it away from him. Chamakh would've gone down leading to another penalty. It was a shit way to win a game of football.
For anyone to support a diver means you don't support football. Anyone saying they don't mind players diving should be ashamed of themselves.
