Madeleine McCann

Thats the thing Shadow why show them compassion when I think they had something to do with it?As ive said ive read a lot about the case and something doesnt sit right with me.

Look I'm not looking to fall out with anybody on here over this Tony and your fully entitled to your opinion mate but thinking something isn't proof of something and given the press/media's historical relationship with the truth and facts I personally would be very careful giving any credence or putting much faith in what they claim especially when the facts of what happened were so thin on the ground.

It was only a few years back that every tabloid newspaper and news programme in the UK abandoned any sense of innocent until proven guilty and fell over themselves to act as judge, jury and executioner when they accused some old eccentric vulnerable geezer of murdering a young lassie in her home, turned out he had absolutely nothing to do with it and was entirely innocent but by that time the public was convinced he was some evil predatory monster.

No looking to fall out either mate ,ive gave my opinion if people dont like it or disagree thats fine by me 👍
 
Apologies if i offended anyone with the thread ,maybe just stick tae Celtic ,Love Island,doors ,xmas n wumen!

No need to apologise Tony, people are entitled to discuss whatever they see fit on here it's just my own personal view that a football forum is probably not an appropriate platform to be discussing something like this.

That it NO way means people shouldn't be free to discuss it if they wish, like I said mate it's just my own personal view and discussing this on here just doesn't sit right with me so I'm going to bow out of this thread and leave everyone to get on with it. (y)
 
You know I weighed up whether I should comment on this thread or not because as much as this may be on the 'General Chat' part of the forum I really don't think this is an appropriate subject to be discussing on a football forum. I get we've discussed some pretty serious and heavy subjects on here and I would be one of the first to say we shouldn't shy away from those discussions but this thread just doesn't sit right with me at all. It just seems a deeply inappropriate place to be discussing something like this and especially inappropriate to be speculating and theorising on it.

The ONLY FACTS any of us know about this subject is that a poor wee lassie disappeared and as heartbreaking as the thought is there is a high probability she is dead.

EVERYTHING ELSE surrounding this is speculation, opinion and theory nothing else!

Neither the Portuguese Police nor the UK Police seem to have the first clue of what really happened that night and neither have covered themselves in glory in how they've conducted their investigations, the press certainly don't have a clue but as is always the case with them they managed to turn a horrible tragedy into a media circus with ill informed reporting, wild speculation and pushing of baseless conspiracy theories which only served to misinform.

So whatever you may think of Kate and Gerry McCann, whether it be the rights and wrongs of their actions before and since poor Madeleine's disappearance, their social status, the help they've received, the funding they've received, how they used their positions and connections etc. nobody should EVER lose sight of the fact that THEIR DAUGHTER DISAPPEARED AND IS LIKELY DEAD so maybe try showing them a little compassion and empathy for that simple heartbreaking truth rather than rushing to judgement on them as people or sharing an opinion or theory.
Thank god for this post! 👏 👏👏👏
 
They're guilty of abandoning their children, if they had put parenting ahead of socialising that wee girl would still be alive.
Leaving a 3 year old so you can have a good time? Its fucking shameful, she could have choked, fallen out of bed, had a nightmare they didn't give a fuck did they? Social life comes first.

I wasn't talking about neglect or abandonment because we all know they're guilty of that but unless someone can prove they murdered their own child then they are innocent.

Well said. It's not an edifying thread by a long shot.
 
Watched the series, it was disturbing at times, and very frustrating, as well as the police didn't treat it as an abduction, right from the start
I heard they now have a suspect in Germany, who's serving time and they think he might have more information
Let's hope so, for the sake of the parents, and everyone else

Morning bhoys Just wonder if this had been a normal working class family or Black Family How would the Media response have been rather than a middle class family I'm deeply upset and sorry that a child is missing have my reservations regarding the Parents
 
I love Celtic and our fans but i disagree with alot that has been said here..Who hasnt sinned cast the first stone..We have all did silly things , ive nipped into shop for paper with my kid still in baby chair..The McCanns have been treated horrifically ..Thousands believe they murdered their own child because of a Netflix documentary ..If its proven they had nothing to do with it , its shameful how they have been treated..Yes they were guilty of having a drink but the kids were constantly checked on..If that guy is found to be the guilty party he should be hung
