Madeleine McCann: Mini Match, No Giving Up, No End In Sight
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR: “Police to quiz Tapas Seven”
Tapas Nine, surely. Sangria 7…
The Home Office has received a list of questions the Portuguese police want to put to the Tapas 7/9. The questions would be uttered by British police, with the Portuguese sitting in and maybe even making notes
DAILY MIRROR: “McCanns refuse to lose hope”
“Madeleine McCann’s parents will never give up searching for her despite the police investigation coming to an end”
On it goes
SUR (Spain) - UD Marbella draw with table topping écija Balompié (A harsh refereeing decision ended Marbella’s hopes of a win)
Mini-match
During half-time, two teams of schoolchildren (Marbella Paraíso and AFA/Pablo Picasso) played a mini-match in the inter-schools tournament to highlight the plight of Madeleine McCann, missing for over nine months, and Mari Luz Cortés, who has been missing for over a month after buying sweets from a kiosk near her home in Huelva.
DAILY RECORD: “Madeleine McCann’s Parents Vow Not To Give Up Hunt”
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell says: “We would ask that our private detectives should have access to police files so they can continue working on the case, even if the police will not.”
Says Gerry McCann’s brother John: “They want to be able to concentrate on searching for their daughter instead of defending themselves from a completely false accusation. This case of trying to charge them has been ridiculous since the start.”

AGW,
This is your site, not mine, so I am not going to try and get into an argument with you, imo that would be pointless and wrong.
I have no fear of being banned as I seldom post anyway, but I do genuinely believe that it is not really my place to say too much on topics such as this anyway.
However, please note, I distinctly said “SOME of the posters mentioned”.
I did not mention which ones I miss, nor did I mention which ones I do not miss, and that was deliberate on my part.
The last portion of my post is what I did want to say, and say as ambiguously as possible.
I was distinctly underwhelmed by what went on in this thread last night, not that it’s particularly important, and not that I feel I need to say anything more on the subject.
Administrator:MIKESA I also choose my words carefully. This is not my site. If you have a complaint about the way this thread is moderated write to the editor@anorak.co.uk and keep it out of the forum discussion area.
If you wish to enter a sensible and reasoned debate with me on the conduct of the thread I am happy to do so although I could be distracted at any stage during that debate.
I have very deep concerns about the patterns developing within this series of threads and have expressed doubts re the motivation, purpose and eventual aim of SOME of the posters within them. There are very disturbing trends and scenarios emerging and I have today made very strong recommendations re a solution.-agw

Its laughable that there are people here who are trying to isolate and put down those who wish to make crystal clear the fact that the McCanns NEGLECTED AND FAILED their children - lucky for them that they didnt lose all of their children, although, of course, its not luck at all - as there WAS NO ABDUCTOR.
I for one will not give any credibility to the stranger abduction claim until there is one iota of unbiased credible evidence to support it. We dont have much evidence in the public domain to support anything other than failed parenting, but we have 103% more evidence of alternatives than we have of stranger abduction!
******************************
So ….Ian …what exactly do you think happened then ? If Madeleine was not abducted by stranger/s what do you think happened ? and where do you think she is ?

Excellent post Susannah, so true.
As one who reads far more than I post, I also miss some of the posters mentioned.
One should always bear in mind that respect is earned, it can never be demanded.
Administrator: I repeat: If you genuinely believe Hideki, Judith C and the chief troll of an opposition medium are a loss to this site I would genuinely like to hear your reasoning. That is, hear it before I begin to doubt yours. I doubt you would welcome the knowledge I have of the individuals you value so highly.-agw

I look at the posting of this day and miss the days when we had Spudgun, Slyfox, Judith
C, Peter O, Hideki, Stevo and of course Tony Bennett.
What a loss they are.
I hope agw feels better tomorrow - mods should work on this forum when their biorhythms are up not down.

Today was a real mess on the forum. Nervous breakdown, fighting, misunderstandings, moderators getting pissed off, and posters in tears…
I hope tomorrow is much improved.

sadly many posters think it is great fun
