I shan't quibble with the questionmarks ....

You don't think round one was scored 10:9 then?

You don't think round one was scored 10:9 then?

I incline to the view that the gap was a little wider than that ....

I don't see anyone was knocked down or even had a mandatory "standing eight count" so no points to be deducted.
In the end it was who would you rather have been in the ring?  Ten to them and nine to other geezer.

[Mr Gray]

Round 1 10:9 M^cCann:Amaral
Round 2 ?
Round 3 ?

from what I can see the only action amaral won was the one the mccanns did not contend

the mccanns won the libel trial

[Alice Purjorick]

the mccanns won the libel trial

There is one round, at least, to go in that fight.
After round one the score is 10:9 in favour of M^cCann.

I am only talking about the "libel trial". What are you talking about ?

The action named 5 people. Two of them got a payout, three didn't. It also mentioned harm done to the search for Madeleine - not proven.

Amaral didn't libel Madeleine  or the twins ....

the mccanns won the libel trial

On how many counts did they fail to win in court ?

[G-Unit]

Amaral didn't libel Madeleine  or the twins ....

Seems team McCann need telling about that;

In a statement issued by their family spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, they said: “We are delighted with the judge’s verdict today. We want to emphasise the action was never about money. It was entirely focused on the effect of the libels on our other children and the damage that was done to the search for Madeleine.

that doesn't claim the children were libelled, only that they were damaged by the libels their parents suffered.  I thought you were supposed to be reasonably intelligent?

How were their 'other' children damaged then? what about the 'search' comment?
