IS THIS TENNIS PHOTO REAL ...OR COULD IT BE FAKE...

[The General]

In order to be a true sceptic, nothing that possibly points to the McCanns dunnit theory should be taken off the table.  All theories are equally valid even if they contradict each other horribly, and fellow sceptics must not point any contradiction out.  It is important to maintain scepticism no matter how illogical it may seem to those not in the know or without superior intellects like wot we've got.

Fair enough. I think.

OK, thanks for your input to the exhumed thread, guys, much appreciated.
With your help and after sifting through the available evidnce and various analyses conducted, I have a conclusion.

In answer to the pointlessly expansive thread title - the photo is real. It's been cropped, but the photo is a genuine, unsullied photo of MM.

Of course it's real.  WTF do you think any of us would be interested in debating this idiotic notion AGAIN??  You must try harder - bump a more contentious thread.  Try and find something where I said something really dumb that has come back to bite me big time, really try to make me look a complete fool.  Shouldn't be difficult!

Nah, it's clearly a fake.

OK, what's made you do a complete 180 in a little over an hour? Please expound your reasoning below.

Just kiddin'. It's kosher.

The opening post on this thread is a perfect example of how you can turn something innocent and innocuous, them pick petty little holes in it until it becomes a massive full blown conspiracy.  This is what has happened to virtually every piece of information available in this case - it’s been pored over, examined to within an inch of its life and if it could help in any way to twist it into becoming part of a conspiracy cover-up then it has been.  Thanks for bumping the thread and reminding us how daft some people can be.

No problem.
The photo is not without intrigue, though.
But let's put the thread back on the shelf.
Goodnight tennis balls photograph. Goodnight.

Can we have the “Gerry swearing on the bus” one next please.

[The General]

Can we have the “Gerry swearing on the bus” one next please.

Yes, no problem.
This is probably the single-most ridiculous claim associated with this whole saga.
I think if anyone stuck a video camera in my face and asked me to 'smile', 'cheer up', or 'are you having fun' on a holiday bus transfer with a gaggle of kids, having travelled half the day, I'd probably resort to assault.
Or 'how about I come over there and ram that fckin camera up your arse, David, you creepy tit?'.
Something like that.

So I can sympathise.

I think I made a big mistake, so have deleted this post.   I hadn't realised that the kiddies pool area and play area was raised from the tennis couts and by quite a few feet.  And that is what threw me


My sincere apologies to Pathfinder.   I now think that you were right.

[Myster]

Nah, the well known photos are real, but the top photo provided by pathfinder is not of the tennis courts of The Ocean Club.

It's a bit of a chore, and quite difficult, but check it out on Google Earth.   Of course with all the disinformation and changing of FACTS including Google Earth, that might not be possible in a few days.   Yes, I have noticed at least 3 disinformation alterations to do with this case on Google Earth.

This case is mega.   
Much bigger than most of you suspect and BIG brains hiding facts, by altering stuff to what they want believed.   Probably genius level of Red Herrings and quite an artist at work too.   No wonder so many people have been misguided.


I wonder why pathfinder posted an incorrect photo

It's a correct photo of the OC tennis courts, looking north towards OC apartments in the background.

The two tall palm trees with thick trunks on the left, are the same ones casting long shadows in this bird's eye view on Google maps...

And are also the same ones seen from the main road west of the tennis courts in this street view. The tennis court overshoot netting is just visible on the right...

So no need to fret about any pathfinder shenanigans!

Even clearer in 3D...
