Here We Go! - The Aberdeen FC Podcast

Well, the positivity lasted until the first week of August at least... A terrible week had the tin hat put on it in Paisley today. Grant Fisken rejoins us to sift through the debris.

With Mark Elrick, we talk stirring late comebacks, wantaway centre-halves, avoiding litigation from Rockstar, and gear up for the return with Rijeka.

An effervescent Aberdeen performance tonight, but don't expect the accompanying podcast to be quite so sparkling.   We convene for a quick review of Aberdeen 5 Chikhura Sachkhere 0 as the Dons move seamlessly into QR3.

Doubling up on top guests for you this week as both Ben Palmer and JJ Bull are with us to assess the balance of power in the tie with Chikhura Sachkhere, the continuing misadventures of Stevie May, and an SPFL opener with Hearts that isn't really being hotly anticipated for some (Craig Levein based) reason.   Listen; subscribe; tell a friend about us, or an enemy, we're not fussy.

With hangovers finally subsiding, a look back on the ultimately successful, but not as straightforward as it probably should have been, tie against RoPS Rovaniemi after Aberdeen's second-leg victory in Lapland. Then previewing the QR2 against Chikhura Sachkhere in the company of Tbilisi based Dons fan Al Watt.

Is the RoPS tie on a knife edge, or is a perfectly safe, flat surface from which we'll make comfortable progress? Martyn, Richard and Lewis Walker of Dons blog What A Stramash try to answer.   Also in this week's show: new deals for the management, and batting away a Hibs challenge for the signing of Funso Ojo like one might a mosquito in Northern Finland.   Subscribe!

Season five of Dons-centered drivel comin' atcha, may the Lord have mercy on all of us.   Helping raise the bar above the abject mediocrity of the hosts this week is Shona Duthie who helps us run the rule on the Summer signings that have pitched up at Pittodrie, as well as looking ahead to the Europa League opener on Thursday against RoPS Rovaniemi of Finland.

A bumper close-season special featuring sage, pro-bono advice from Simon Catto, and nuggets of retweetable but disposable wisdom from the Twitter-famous Martyn Clunes; The best, and worst, signings of the Derek McInnes years ranked. Laugh, cry and think 'who the hell was that guy' as we run down the best and worst of the players coming through Pittodrie's revolving door in the last six years.

The last rites on season 2018-19 administered along with guest John Sinclair as the Dons picked up a typical yet pyrrhic three points at Easter Road. Ruminations on the season just gone, and how we're looking going into 2019-20.

We ain't got no alibi.   Right, let's get it over with. A review of another bruising day at Hampden with Christy Keenan joining us to try and make the bad thoughts go away.

Going the full 90 minutes this week as build up to a pivotal afternoon at Hampden. Derek Rae and Thom Watt are with us to look back on the last burst of SPFL action before the split, discuss Derek's Bundesliga 2 experiences in Aberdeen's twin city of Regensburg and, of course, preview the Semi-Final against Celtic. We also have a blether with Graham Hunter as he holds court on the evolution of thi...

Aberdeen win at Ibrox yet a-bloody-gain, God how boring. Martyn and Richard discuss the Scottish Cup Quarter-Final win in Glasgow.

We review a tepid affair at Parkhead, and preview an evening that promises to be altogether spicier at Ibrox in the company of freelance journalist Ben Palmer.

How long to the end of the week? Martin Ingram of esteemed organ The Red Final is with us to cover record away runs, dismal home runs, the latest movement on the stadium/training ground front and the small matter of a Scottish Cup Quarter-Final versus Scotland's newest senior club.

With Michael Grant we cover more dropped Pittodrie points, a new deal for Lewis Ferguson and whether it's time for the club to move on from players who probably won't be here next season. Then, in the first of an irregular series, we look back at a memorable season - 1994-95 - where it wasn't silverware being celebrated come May, but league survival.

After a Scottish Cup weekend that threatened to get very messy, but saw the Dons emerge into the Quarter Finals, we're joined by Shona Duthie and Cameron Hobbs to praise McGinn, question GMS, and admire that Stephen Dobbie goal (but only from the safety of a 4-1 win). With a line-up of American Football aficionados, we also asked 'Which NFL team are the Dons?'

We dissect Wednesday night's Pittodrie defeat in the company of Martin Stone & JJ Bull.

Loads to talk about in a productive week for the Dons on the pitch, not quite so in the transfer market. We look back on wins at Stenhousemuir and Hibs, look ahead to a potentially pivotal clash at Pittodrie on Wednesday, discuss whether we would be in a title chase with a win, and, most importantly of all, praise the Ochilview broth & find out where the stovies are sold in the Main Stand. All thi...

Andrew Southwick joins us in the studio (at home on his laptop) for this week's dose of ramshackle musings about your favourite football club. We take in the Killie stalemate,  loan dealings, the potential for yet more Ochilview misery, and hoping to capitalise in the capital on Hibs' lack of harmony.

Stumbling into 2019 as gracelessly as the Dons did at Pittodrie on Saturday, your favourite podcast is back, this week with added Erin Grieve. Stenhousemuir, Hamilton and Kilmarnock might sound like the most miserable coach tour ever devised, but they're our focus this week along with the January comings and goings.

Lewis Walker of Dons blog What A Stramash is with us as we round up the final week of a hectic December.

Two wins to review, FOUR Sam Cosgrove goals to savour, it must be Christmas!   We're joined by Cameron Hobbs ahead of a Boxing Day fixture that will determine whether Scotland has a title race this season, or another procession.

We look back on an action-packed last week or so for the Dons as the games against St Johnstone, Livingston and St Mirren are reviewed. Then we turn our attention to the postbag and your pressing questions in our latest Points of Ewe. Simon Catto joins us again to bring some authority to proceedings.

Two trips to Glasgow; two wildly different post-match moods as we look back on the games at Hampden and Ibrox.

It's Cup Final week (good); we got thumped at Motherwell (bad); we've got Jack Thomson from Stats and Miniskirts back on the show (good); one of our key defenders might miss the Final (bad); JJ Bull joins us to talk about his songwriting gift (good); it contains potassium benzoate (...)
