Why Scots saviour John McGinn is called BraveArse at Aston Villa

Published by Webster

3 min readJun 14, 2026 01:45 PM IST ‘Wacky’ Kevin Beresford, 74, a Birmingham businessman and self proclaimed, ‘dullest man’, had kept ready merchandise featuring John McGinn, a much adored figure at Aston Villa. To commemorate Tartan Army’s arrival in Boston ahead of the Haiti FIFA World Cup game, he had inaugurated his merch – coasters. Mugs, metal print plates. Inspired by a comical ad featuring Susan Boyle and McGinn, and by McGinn’s clowning persona and a gag running over his famous backside, he designed an entire range of merchandise that came to be highlighted after McGinn salvaged their campaign after a 1-0 win against Haiti. Birmingham Live reported why the business came about. Wacky Kevin said its cause Scotland “don’t get there very often”. “You see the same merchandise every year and I wanted to do something different because lets be honest, it’s not very often Scotland are at a World Cup. For Wacky Kevin, his first love is Aston Villa. “I like to see all the home nations do well even though I …

Akhanda 2 teaser: Nandamuri Balakrishna channels Shiva, becoming both saviour and destroyer. Watch | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

Akhanda 2 teaser and release date: In a significant respite for the Telugu film industry, which has been struggling so far this year with no big blockbusters, the decks have been cleared for the worldwide release of director Boyapati Sreenu’s highly anticipated Nandamuri Balakrishna-starrer Akhanda 2. A day after announcing the new release date of the fantasy actioner, the movie’s makers have unveiled a fresh teaser, sending expectations through the roof. Instead of delving into the story, the 64-second promo video presents the film as an out-and-out action spectacle, with an unhinged Balakrishna at its centre. As the teaser opens, we see a young woman being chased across a snowy mountain by ruthless thugs. But fret not, Akhanda Rudra Sikandar Aghora (Balakrishna) is around to save the day.

Levon Aronian: ‘Vladimir Kramnik needs professional help… he has saviour complex’ | Chess News

Published by Webster

When Vladimir Kramnik’s “crusade” against online cheating was at its peak earlier this year, one of the most prominent voices asking him to reconsider his hardline approach was that of Levon Aronian, who wrote a long post on social media imploring the former world champion to see reason. One of the most respected men in chess, Aronian was once a close confidant of Kramnik. But over the last few months, the relationship has frayed as the Russian legend has continued his campaign to highlight suspicions about cheating in online chess without providing what the rest of the game’s fraternity would consider conclusive or convincing evidence. This has gained even more notoriety after the passing of American grandmaster Daniel Narodistsky after he too was repeatedly alleged by Kramnik to have cheated in online chess. Aronian says that he has now stopped trying to convince Kramnik privately to reconsider his approach and believes that the former world champion needs professional help. Story continues below this ad “He’s in a place where I think he needs professional help. …

Ranji Trophy: Comeback man Vijay Shankar turns Tamil Nadu saviour as unbeaten ton salvages draw against Chhattisgarh | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With just an over to go before tea on Day 4, Vijay Shankar pulled Sanjeet Desai for a boundary. It was not a shot played in anger or with power. It was a crisp shot that fetched him his 10th first-class century, one that helped Tamil Nadu walk away with a draw against Chhattisgarh in the third round of the Ranji Trophy. The animated fist pump after reaching the landmark spoke much about the significance of the knock, for the team and the player himself. Both teams shook hands at tea with Tamil Nadu placed at 264/4 with a lead of 23 runs. Vijay’s omission from the last two matches had become a big talking point. All along, Tamil Nadu’s coaching staff and selectors had said that he was rested due to an injury and his workload was being managed because of the long season ahead. But throughout those two matches, Vijay fielded as a substitute and the player himself claimed that he was fully fit. The term ‘rested’ clearly felt like he was dropped. …

Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan took three wickets in the space of 10 deliveries including centurion Ben Duckett to leave England on 239-6 in the second Test in Multan on Wednesday. An absorbing second day’s play on a turning pitch ultimately belonged to the hosts, who lead by 127 runs after their first-innings 366. England had been cruising nicely at 211-2 when Sajid removed Joe Root (34), Duckett (114) and Harry Brook (nine) in the final session. From the other end, fellow spinner Noman Ali dismissed England skipper Ben Stokes for one as a suddenly rattled England lost four wickets in the space of 14 runs. At the close, Jamie Smith on 12 and Brydon Carse (two) were at the crease. With the Multan pitch — which was also used for the first Test — offering sharp spin, the home team will be looking for a lead in the first innings for a series-levelling win.

Jigra trailer: Alia Bhatt is Vedang Raina’s heroic saviour in Vasan Bala’s epic action film. Watch | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

The Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina-starrer Jigra unveiled its first theatrical trailer on Thursday. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film follows Alia’s Satya, who is trying to break her brother out of prison after he gets arrested in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. Alongside Alia and Vedang, the film also stars Manoj Pahwa. Jigra marks Alia’s debut in the action genre. In the teaser trailer, we got an impression that Satya works in the hospitality industry. After her brother gets arrested, Satya travels to the foreign country, where she begins putting together an escape plan into motion. The brother, however, appears to have been arrested under false charges, which are communicated to him in a foreign language. Manoj Pahwa appears to be playing a mentor/father-figure to Satya. Despite the heavy doses of action, the film’s emotional core is the sibling love shared by Satya and her incarcerated brother.

Ranji Trophy final: Shardul Thakur is Mumbai’s saviour again as he turns tables against Vidarbha with bat and ball | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Shardul Thakur slashed so violently that he resembled a sabre fencer thrusting his sword more than a ‘tailender’ bailing his team out in a Ranji Trophy final. It was a length ball outside off, the kind that most other batsmen would have shouldered arms to. Not Shardul, who began his innings by dancing down the track and hitting a boundary. This wasn’t as clean a hit as his first. Playing away from his body, the ball hit the edge and flew just over Dhruv Shorey at gully. Thakur stepped back, and took a deep breath. Identical delivery two balls later, identical response from Shardul – driving the ball without much footwork – and an identical outcome: the ball again catching the edge and zooming past Shorey, this time he gets closer than on the earlier occasion. Another step back by Shardul, another deep breath. The very next ball, he tries to hit it through midwicket but gets a leading edge. The ball floats in the air, Harsh Dubey at mid-on runs backwards and lunges desperately …

Shaitaan movie review: Ajay Devgn the saviour meets Ajay Devgn the family man | Bollywood

Published by Webster

Shaitaan movie review: I often find myself marvelling at Ajay Devgn’s unending appetite for stories and treatments that showcase him as the inevitable liberator. He plays a specific kind of ultra-masculine, unfaltering hero — someone overly preoccupied with ideals and a supposedly endearing naivete that’s supposed to be compensated for with brawn, a cultivated smoothness and a fiery temper. Cases in point include Gangaajal (2003), the Singham franchise and Raid (2018). (Also Read – Maidaan trailer: Ajay Devgn plays a tough coach in Chak De! India for football. Watch) Shaitaan movie review: R Madhavan invades Ajay Devgn’s house What I marvel more at is the other half of his recent filmography, where he plays the goofy, rough-around-the-edges dad type who has everything going for him in life, including a loving family that are at the centre of his world. He’s done it in the Drishyam films and Shivaay (2016). In Vikas Bahl’s Shaitaan, the saviour in Ajay Devgn meets the father in him. Why I go on so much about his filmography is because there’s …
