Moses made more contact with the defender by swinging his arm into the defenders shoulder/chest/neck. Should the defender go down and look pleadingly at the ref? He'd get laughed at and the pundits would be criticising him for not being strong enough.
I have issues with diving but when you have benefited from them in the past, you have to shut up and take your medicine when you get it back

Sorry but the likes of Young, Rooney and Nano have been plenty ridiculed by our own fans.
It's not about who benefits, it's about fair play. The problem is that the FA and FIFA don't really have any guideline as to why a dive is, if it's considered "simulation", then there should be a lot more yellow cards given by refs but for some reason they get away with it.
It's like the respect campaign after teams were surrounding refs took off, now you see it on a regular basis from Chelsea, Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool I particular (when at home, and yes we were the worst for it when we had Keane and co).
When did Swansea benefit from diving under Monk, I honestly don't recall?
Didn't motd2 also say that Monk has public ally stated if anyone of his players dives in training they get fined and miss a game if they do it in a game. Would seem odd to say these things if his team have benefited from diving.
But irrelevant of whether they have or not, all cheats should be called out.
Watch the game at OT again, not just the diving but the gamesmanship, cynical fouls, etc. They are all cheating
Really? I remember a bit of the fouling but not really much diving. I though they were pretty deserving of their win at OT.
Had no issue with the result, but cheating happens in so many ways, calling someone a cheat but setting your team up to cheat through a game is a tad hypocritical
