The initial time-line and events immediately after 10pm.

[pathfinder73]

No-one gave precise times - they were all approximate and usually preceded by the word ''around'' or ''about''
The only person who knew a particular time was Gerry with his 9.05. time.

To expect 9 people, (who had no idea that the timing of every single move they made that evening was going to be so important at a later stage)  to have been able to quote precise times is totally unrealistic. IMO.

Why didn't he put 9.05 on the timeline? And he remembered the later and most important exact time - 10.03pm at the tapas bar LOL.  He made a good note of that time

I dont follow all that but I do wonder why he gave times of his and her checks

9.05 and 10.03

he can remember the exact time but not what door he went into? OK

Ps why did he need an alibi for 9 05

10.03 I think someone in his best attempts to get that all important tapas bar alibi may have unwittingly gave away the actual time of the Smith sighting. Smithman would check his watch to remember that exact time. How ironic 

p.s. 9.02-05 in case he was seen outside carrying something. He had to be at the tapas bar. 9.05 was the time he got back to the front door when he used the key to enter. That's why it was used but later denied. But it gets trickier because of the outdoor cadaver alerts. That is the tricky bit at present so working on theories to cover it. Some think Jez appearing interrupted the operation and left on balcony for a time brought later alerts.

Missing from both timelines are Jane Tanner's claimed second visit to her apartment to relieve O'Brien of his childcare duties.  Missing from the first timeline is the claimed joint hand holding check made by O'Brien and Oldfield.  Both timelines were written by O'Brien!

According to Dianne Webster neither Gerry or Mathew were at the table when she arrived at 8.55/9.00

I dont think any of the tapas groups "times" can be taken as spot on/reliable...well apart from Gerry who seemed to look at his stopwatch and tell the actual minute he or Kate got up! Now why the heck would he do that? What a strange strange case.

More twists and turns than the Warren Commission's magic bullet theory.

He did more :
Half and hour later, without anything to report, it being 22h03, he turned to alert Kate that it was time for her to go to see the children. She immediately made her way...
Mr McCann had a good reason to indicate precisely a time which is confirmed by nobody.

Like who?
And why would he? The PJ would know he is lying! for starters! As would the people he refers to (or that you refer to)

Jane Tanner for starters -  who apparently gave the PJ the actual identity of the man who abducted Madeleine!!! But was then told she didn't need to sign a statement to confirm what was undoubtedy the most important piece of evidence received by the PJ thus far  - and that she could go on home.

Where did you read that?
Who elses statements did Mr Amaral fabricate?
And you didnt address my query as to why he would fabricate anything when others in the PJ and LP and the witnesses would know he was lying.
