Dax was really losing his mind in the final half hour. Top tier leader, I admire him immensely.
Hmm when did that Kljestan taunt happen?
Just after when Mike Grella was practicing his wrestling body slams. I have pictures of him sticking his thumb in Fabinho’s face while the linesmen held Fabinho.
Hmmm, did not notice that live. What a d*ck move by Kljestan.

Fantastic reaction shots, Paul. You really capturing the emotion and spirit of the match. Well done.
Thank you!
Did not see that live either. Great shots as always Paul!
Thank you! I’ll try and post some of the other thumb shots on my Flickr later tonight but there are not as clear.
“You cover him. No, you cover him.” Awesome.
Thank you, I crack myself up on that one!
Yet another fine display of your talent! Thanks Paul! This is another reason that PSPis the best site!
Thank you, it’s always great to hear that what it takes to put one of these together is worth the time.
