    I guess because edd posted and by the sounds of it he left sky on not great terms?
  • edited May 2012
    guess so

    would clear a lot of things up if sky posted reasons or if not possible just that presenters/analysts have left the channel

    Indeed,  anyway, what is more odd is that Dp Fitzgerald[legend] was only enjoying the cricket  at Lords today,  imagine that, an Irishman enjoying the cricket !, he did ask when it was half time and if the score was 30 love though.

    Hes on good form, doing quite random presenting jobs, alot music based.

    Hes also a debt collector in his spare time.

    Closed to avoid further speculation.
    Closure makes no sense to me as people are going to speculate even more now after the thread has been locked, but I guess me and "Sky_Poker" will have to agree to disagree on that one. Not my forum, after all ;)

    Agree, a most ridiculous action in 1/digital age 2/democratic society

    move it onto twitter #skypokertv

    hope i don't get banned for such subversion - this is how hitlers germany started!

     rich and ed at spt swansea couple of years back highly entertaining although I was a bit drunk

    I'd like to speculate that this thread might also get closed to avoid further, further speculation


     ps, Maybe he played a practical joke that backfired, messing about with laxatives should not be tolerated, can't think of anything else it could possibly be?

     Maybe he ruined the whole studio and they had to move!

    Best of luck in whatever you do in future mate.

    I learnt alot from you on 865, class analyst who said it as it was.

    Def one of the best.

    This has always been the case.

    Dont think the people upstairs fully realise that the act of closing a thread raises more eyebrows and draws more attention than it would have otherwise.

    And what always happens?  A second thread is opened where people continue to discuss the unresolved issues from the initial thread....

    Its just daft, needless dubious censorshop imo.  Being treated like children ftw :p

    Ed wrote "there is more chance of Elvis analysing your play"

    Wasn't there a D.P story there? I seem to remember something that never got explained...


  • edited May 2012
    This thread is blatantly gonna get closed so I'll throw my 2 pence in now.

    Great presenter Ed and a real shame you can't appear on 865 anymore.  Have no idea what the reasons are but I'm sure they'll be legitimate.

    I'll have a look at your site once it's up and running.

    Good luck at the tables (and in life).

    they said the same about the swans staying in the premier league.  I was one of the 18,000 with elvis masks on down the liberty a couple of weeks back.

    never say never :)

    and the first rule of fight club is?
  • edited May 2012


    what do you all expect from this forum ?

      ... bring back the good old days on tv when it was funny .... now its all analysing hands , which in my opinion is very boring and dull,

    to any novice my advise is read a few books or watch alot on youtube.

    one last thing if i went to a casino and sat at a table and people ,(who were not in the hand) were telling the players on the table where they went wrong in the hand they played... id get a bit hacked off and leave to go to another casino !!!!

    i enjoy the analysis as well but agree the humour and rapport ed and rich had was irreplaceable

      Not sure what this is about.
        Surely 865 does exactly what it says on the tin. Its a poker channel about poker.
          Brilliant ADVICE from some great players.
          Redmond, Ryan, Julian, Carlo etc
      With Tikay in the background, what more do you want.
           If you want ' The good old days' check out UK Gold

        imo no entertainment ......... its that simple

    tedgiddzo  I enjoyed you on the show but don't allude, if you have something to say then do so and be clear.  You would not be the first disgruntled former employee.  Who does leave on good terms in most jobs?  Don't be cryptic, poop or get off the pot.  
      To reiterate I really enjoyed your shows.   I had fun watching and you seem like a nice guy.  Move on and be lucky.  Lifes too short.

    The daft thing is by closing the thread got me to look at it when I would have probably not gone back to it!
  • edited May 2012
    Ed Gibbins was a fantastic analysis its that simple.

    Hes had a checkered past that is well documented, but was there any wrong doin on his part in him leavin sky? i very much doubt it wot would he gain? nothin.

    Its the same as lml she did nothing but was just swept aside for the new generation.

    I think theres sumthin more into eds departure tho as he said in his post on the deleted thread......

    Let the conspiracy continue

    imo closing that particular thread was a mistake.  perhaps someone who is too controlling has become too powerful and influential.  perhaps not.
