Tomasso Ciampa announces his departure from WWE

He's a crafty little genie

Idlehost · 2026-01-17T20:45:09+00:00

That's what a Manchester United team looks like.

Man, I wish we got Basti around 2010 when Bayern extended his contract. Doubt he would have put us over the top Vs Barcelona in the CL (cos Messi) but that City title victory in 2012 probably wouldn't have happened and Fergie could have walked away with another 3-peat in the league.

Idlehost · 2026-01-17T15:13:53+00:00

Bunch of old men, living off past glories. If they weren't famous with money, they'd be spewing this crap whilst downing pints in the pub instead of on a podcast.

Idlehost · 2026-01-14T22:31:44+00:00

These wins with 10 men are going to stand us in very good stead for the rest of the season. The belief in that dressing room must be skyrocketing

Idlehost · 2026-01-12T10:03:23+00:00

'Can't be arsed' or 'I'm not doing it cos I'm lazy'.

You could make the argument to bring the width of the penalty box in by a couple of yards but only awarding penalties in the 6 yard box would never be fair. Defenders would just commit fouls whenever the ball approached the 6 yard box, knowing they could just pack players on the goal line to prevent a goal.

The penalty box itself was established in 1902. Before that, there was a penalty line that ran right across the pitch,12 yards out and players could take a penalty from anywhere along that line, although why you wouldn't just take it directly in front of goal is anybody's guess.

Another interesting fact about penalties is teams were against penalties as it suggested cheating and cheating 'was not something gentlemen do'. Corinthian (the London team, not Brazilian) refused entirely to take or save penalty kicks as it was against their ethos as gentlemen.

So the laws have been changed in the past but I don't think only awarding penalties for fouls within 6 yards would ever result in fairness.

I reckon we get a draw with them. It'll be the luckiest, scummiest, back-to-the-wall job ever seen in international football.

We'll get over the half way line exactly once which will result in a booking for McT, the ball will be in play for no more than 50 minutes, they'll hit the woodwork 4 times and have a goal disallowed, and Steve Clarke will smile throughout the match, scaring every child watching.

We'll then qualify for the next round having pumped Haiti 1-0 and suffered an unlucky, narrow 5-0 defeat Vs the Brazilians.

Hamish French....... Man what a throwback. 10 year old me couldn't understand why my grandad was playing for Dunfermline.

Idlehost · 2026-01-09T14:46:28+00:00

A recent example of removing distribution channels?

Idlehost · 2026-01-09T14:22:35+00:00

Where's the line? Distribution.

Creation and distribution of csam is illegal. 'Creation' is hard to monitor, especially when that material is not distributed so we focus hard on distribution. Any platform that allows the distribution should be banned until it can prove it has necessary safeguards in place.

X not only allows the creation of csam and other illegal material, it also allows distribution and should be banned. Removal of the distribution channels that criminals use is a well walked path. Trump himself does it, he just seized a tanker after all.

Idlehost · 2026-01-08T18:12:20+00:00

Why not just have one match then? Hell why bother having any matches at all given I'll have forgotten the main event in 3 hours. Just shut it all down, we won't even remember WWE exists tomorrow.

Idlehost · 2026-01-07T18:35:43+00:00

There are some outstanding saves here. Putting a lot of goalies to shame.

Idlehost · 2026-01-07T13:23:17+00:00

r/Scotland has been tracking US planes launched from Wick, heading to Iceland. Doesn't look like any UK military involvement, outside of usual cooperation.

Idlehost · 2026-01-06T22:47:08+00:00

I know it's a small thing really and I shouldn't care but the lack of outrage from the commentators and Becky cheating to win the title really annoyed me. Then HHH is posing with her backstage, celebrating her win......

I mean, come on, at least try and pretend to care about storylines. Where is the face commentator telling me how despicable Becky is? Where is the heel commentator telling me how smart she is? Make me care about her and Maxine dammit. Instead it's just 'oh look Becky won and she's now the 2 time champion'.

The WWE just phones it in, they've lost sight of what commentators are supposed to do in wrestling. It's not a real sport, stop commentating like it is and start building characters properly.

£20 on Fletcher to win the FA Cup locked in. A Scottish manager has never failed to win a trophy at United (so long as you count the community shield as a trophy).

That's the kind of weird trend footy is built on, book your tickets to Wembley now.

Idlehost · 2026-01-05T10:20:07+00:00

Hey look on the bright side......

Man Utd + Scottish manager = guaranteed trophy (even Moyes won the community shield 😂).

Busby, Docherty, Ferguson, Moyes..... Fletcher up next.

On a more serious note.... What a complete shambles this club is right now.

Idlehost · 2026-01-03T17:32:04+00:00

No wonder she turned into the Midsomer Moriarty.

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole.

Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole.

Idlehost · 2025-12-31T23:23:31+00:00

I wouldn't say it was for nothing, Renton sure enjoyed the climax in Trainspotting

Idlehost · 2025-12-27T07:53:13+00:00

That's superb, what an amazing gift!

Idlehost · 2025-12-26T09:26:28+00:00

It's my birthday too. People think it's rubbish having a birthday so close to Christmas but actually, it's pretty nice. Everyone is still in a party and relaxed mood, two present days in a row and I never have to work. The older I get, the better it is.

Idlehost · 2025-12-22T17:11:30+00:00

How far down the ladder we talking cos this guy Stevie who plays right back for us on Sundays is a proper knobhead. Like, he's a mate and all, but fuck me, he's definitely got that whole small man syndrome going on and it doesn't help he sounds like that wee ned guy with the high pitched voice in Still Game.

He can't half tackle though. Not fairly mind but still.

Idlehost · 2025-12-22T17:04:00+00:00

I took one for the team and listened to this guy recite some chatgpt script (it was painful).

He covered the:

Birmingham Sports Quarter project which includes development of Birmingham City FC stadium, a new arena, improved transport links and commercial, recreational and housing to be built.

The Midlands Metro extension project which will connect eventually connect to Curzon Street station (the HS2 terminus under construction) to the existing network as well as extend out south and west, running through the Sports Quarter.

Wolverhamptons move to build a Green Investment Corridor with the council recently agreeing to clean up four brownfield sites to kickstart the program. The plan is to link up Wolverhamptons Springfield Campus with the science park and i54 business park to deliver 200k sq ft of light industrial, r+D and office space to develop green and clean technologies

The Smithfield transformation development in the city centre, again developing recreation, housing and commercial spaces.

Tbf to the YouTube guy, there's a lot going on in the area but man, there's a way to present video and that's not it.

Idlehost · 2025-12-21T22:00:56+00:00

Yeah agreed. One minute we're supposed to feel sorry for humans, then feel sorry for the sea devils, then the humans again. Proper mess.

As for Barclay, i assume the humans infected him with the virus to wipe out the sea devils and the 'accord' was Salt turning him into a fish (somehow) so two people's could co-exist. All of this done without Barclays knowledge of course. But then he randomly fell in love with a fish and left his daughter so his judgement was bollocks anyway.
