Willian's dive conundrum

I've watch Willian's dive several times and I'm convinced that he dived, with minimal if any contact from Klose. However, if he had not dived Klose would have taken him out knee high!
What's a boy to do?

- Even Klose has admitted it was a pen (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Jan 18, 08:57:11
  - Well, Klose knows he made contact (which he clearly did) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 18, 09:23:51
    - exactly right (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 18, 09:48:02
- He did but they're usually given as Klose did connect... (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Jan 18, 08:20:32
  - "they both played for it" which is why they shouldn't have been pen's (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 18, 08:32:26
    - Willian’s was a foul (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 18, 08:35:14
      - We were having the debate about the Willian one on the way home (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 18, 08:43:43
        
        I think the diving was a deliberate tactic (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 18, 08:51:11
        
        I meant prat, but maybe part is also apt (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:48:29
        
        He's a part all right. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 18, 09:57:40
        
        Sheared was rubbing his hands at glee at the chance to be a part on national tv (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:47:56
      - He didn't "go down" after the contact though (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 18, 08:38:26
        
        I agree watched it again and I am sure he is going down and dragging his leg to make the (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary, Jan 18, 12:06:44
        
        vmt. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 18, 10:40:04
        
        Plus the contact is minimal... (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Jan 18, 08:41:37
        
        Put the boot on the other foot, how would you feel if that was madders? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 18, 08:41:20
        
        Not sure. Madders does go down very easily. (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 18, 08:47:15
        
        I'm not sayng VAR should have reversed it, but had it been given, fair enough (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 18, 10:49:04
        
        Exactly. 100% correct. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 18, 08:57:31
      - taking a dive is cheating (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 18, 08:37:17
        
        So penalty and a yellow card to Willian for cheating maybe? (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:44:14
