For every money shot, there are five or six other photos, a split second either side, where the expression not quite as tragic/comic, or the framing not quite as proportioned. And then, of course, fooking 'undreds of flat stadium snaps which will be seen by precisely one person (or, in the case of this blog, three). The lost snaps. There's a good story in there somewhere. Just like the guy on ITV who also commentated on the 1966 World Cup Final, but could not muster the "people on the pitch" distraction at the crucial moment. Too true, too true.

I would suggest the photographers are in the same place, by the try-line, in hope of the 'money shot' i.e a try being scored. I've often thought how delighted/gutted sports photographers must be at their location. What if the winning goal or try was down the other end? What if you were sat the opposite side to the head-but or sports star crying and so could not get a clear picture?? Some great schnaps!
