Not unhappy at all (apart from the Liverpool game which was horrendous but fortunately a one off).

I disagree. I would rather go on holiday where they prosecute people rather than worry what a prosecution would do to tourism, wouldn't you? As long as they keep things live they continue to raise funds for the search and they continue to keep the whole abduction thing going in people's minds. It makes plenty of sense.

Sorry, why does it matter where? Here would seem most appropriate as they are British nationals.

Sorry, not with you?

I expect he does. I expect many of us would have issues if we had done our job, thought we had found the answer and then been dissed. No lose gamble? As it was the McCanns almost had him for half a million euros (and still might) but could have taken him for 1.2 million euros. I wouldnt say that was a no lose gamble. As for fat and useless? I am not sure what his weight has to do with it and as for being useless, he rose to a high rank so that would suggest a level of competence above "useless" wouldn't it? I don't think it has been suggested that the McCanns killed Madeleine deliberately. As for raising money and keeping the police investigation going, I am afraid that proves nothing at all. The longer they keep it going and keep dissing Amaral and his investigation they keep the heat away from themselves. Don't you think it odd that, at the very least, that they haven't been charged with child neglect?

Shouldn't this be on another thread? I don't have any thoughts. I don't know what the new evidence is so until the new trial starts I really don't know what you expect me to say. He isn't "innocent" yet. He is still charged with rape and will stand trial for it again.

Here for a start. There are plenty of articles on the subject if you care to look.

I really don't think I said that middle class doctors neglect their children but leaving three very young children on their own for what was it, five nights, would certainly rate as neglect by the McCanns to many people I would suggest. The reason for the new post was the success that the Chief Investigator had in the court recently over the publication of his book.

These are direct quotes from Amaral. I guess we can believe him or we can believe some bloke off the internet.....we have choices! "I wrote the book because I those who worked with me and the institution of the Judiciary Police were being put at stake." "The book was a way to reply to the humiliation and the offences that I have been targeted with. Deep down, that was it. They say we are incompetent, they say we are a third world police force, drunkards, fat, lazy etc etc. and the Judiciary Police does not set out to defend us. Therefore I turned to writing...." Given that the McCanns went after him for 1.2 million euros I don't know how he expected to make his fortune out of this book?

Where is your evidence? He would hardly publish a book saying they didn't do it having already said they did? How do you know he didn't publish the book because he believes they did it and wants his case out there?

No I don't, you keep repeating but that doesn't make it true. If you cant work out what a figure of speech is that is your problem. I did not accuse Verbal of being an Islamophobe. Feel free to show where I did. Also feel free to show where I am seeing racism/Islamophobia where it does not exist. Believe what you want. Tongue in cheek is not a joke, it is tongue in cheek. If I had meant it was a joke I would have said it was a joke. There is a difference. You aren't very good at this are you? Still waiting for an answer about Sotonians please?

I was responding to Verbal. Where is your evidence that Amaral has done this for the money? You do know if I said that your buddy Hypo would go into one and I would get 20 posts saying where is my proof. Parasite? Being dragged through the court, having his integrity dragged through the mud. Threatened with bankruptcy and in poor health - ching ching????? I guess the two sniffer dogs were in on the scam too? I expect that they got life time supply of Scooby Snacks in payment?

Did you or did you not say that they did not do it?

Dear God. It was a tongue in cheek comment. Are you really that obtuse? By the way, why haven't you posted on this subject on the Sotonians forum if you are so interested in it?

What is this all about???

No mate, I just don't have a clue why you think something is remotely important when it clearly isn't. You really need to stop obsessing about things that aren't worth obsessing about.

"Selfeless seekers of truth?" I see you have dragged in 9/11 although as much as I know it would be great to tie in those pesky Muslims to the disappearance of this little girl I think that is stretching things. No matter what you think of the way that the McCanns have behaved, they have certainly not been 100% honest. There have been many contradictions and much that doesn't add up. Add in that Kate McCann refused to answer 48 questions which you assume would have assisted in the investigation even the most trusting of people must start to think that something is amiss (you might think). The detective who investigated the case (which means that he knows a great deal more about it than you, me, CB Fry and his sidekick Hypocondriac) is a conspiro-nut too I assume?

What???

That would include the detective that investigated the case as well then I assume? And doesn't calling someone a "nut" has a relation to mental health issues??

Look up the word obsessive mate. CB Fry and others have spent a great deal of time defending the McCanns and pouring scorn on anybody who says that they might have something to do with their daughters death (if indeed she is dead). Are you saying that is not the case? I cant be bothered to go and find the post but at one point CB Fry said that they did not do it. Full stop. Are you two related?

"Your allegations" what is that supposed to mean? The detective who investigated the case thinks that the McCann's have covered up their daughters death. Why then is it down to me? I am sure you have seen the documentary about Maddie's disappearance too? I didn't make it.

What on earth are you going on about?
