At least Gazza didn't bring Chris Waddle with him. That guy's a nightmare in a shoot out.

Not taking anything personally, when we f*** up we f*** up & deserve everything that's coming, I just don't happen to think they have f***ed up on this occasion, so far anyway.
You're basing your judgement here on what you've seen on TV, I'm basing mine on what's come out at work about it, and through knowledge of the procedures (and reasoning behind them) that would be employed in such a situation.
If the police knew Moat's exact whereabouts they'd have been there days ago, therefore its fair to assume they only had a rough idea. In that situation they get hundreds of calls re potential sightings, all of which have to be followed up and judged on their merits. Even
Sussex will have had calls from random people thinking they spotted Moat in Worthing or wherever. And if it's so easy to find someone in miles of open land using only thermal imaging then the Mountain Rescue types would never lose any walkers, would they?
So I'm not taking it personally but equally not just going to sit and accept criticism which is at best uninformed and at worst motivated by a personal issue with the
Police.

Rumour is he rocked up with a can of lager, chicken, mobile phone and clothes. Others suggest he brought a fishing rod; others that he was dressed solely in a dressing gown.
Dont believe any of that, although apparently the first sentence he said himself, but would make this episode all the more surreal.

He has got a gun
There's what I believe is a G36c on his lap and a 9mm handgun of some description holstered?

Look at the taser dude!
Looks like he's turned up with a staple gun prepared to fight to the last staple.

Nope -nothing across his lap (that's his batman belt) - but yes, they have clearly allowed him to have something else to defend himself from Gazza with. Paintballs probably. I think it looks more like Rik Mayall has turned up with a home-stencilled WWII ARP helmet.
Remind me again of the effective distance of the taser? The M18 can fire up to 15 feet - how close is Rik to Mr Moat? Would he not be far more effective with the handgun than the shocker?
they reckon the effective range of the tazer is twenty feet
This seems to be the lad theyve got into the cordon, his best mate. Looks a lovely fella...

Hmmm, well it's not his batman belt but maybe a radio and the strap for a long barrelled weapon. Handgun is normally a Glock 17. As he's got the short shield he is presumably the handgun or less lethal option man.
Taser is up to 21ft generally. I think they're too far away but they have to have it as an available option.
