SPFL Sighs and Aberdeen Lows: The Scottish Football Podcast

With no movement as I record this on the managerial search, I revisit a voice note I sent a pal at the weekend in the aftermath of the cup exit. Rudderless ships run aground!

Having explored the issues with VAR and officiating in a recent podcast, today I turn to the potential solutions and provide my views on how things could be improved. Would welcome other thoughts on what is a thorny issue in the game.

An exciting weekend of cup action with the Dons sadly exiting the competition and relinquishing their hold on the trophy. Here is my analysis of the action.

Dismal Dons dumped out the cup by Dunfermline. Here is my immediate reaction to another crisis for the club I love.

22nd October 1989. My 8th birthday. Dons in a cup final. You don’t get many better birthdays than that! Here are my memories of that day when Paul Mason stole the headlines to take the League Cup back to Pittodrie.

Change of pace this weekend with the shift in focus to the Scottish Cup. We are at the Quarter final stage now and with the draw incredibly open, there is all to play for. Here are my predictions for the weekend action.

Review of the midweek action from Pittodrie. Could the Dons dent the Hoops title hopes? With live podding from inside Pittodrie here is my take on the match.

Win or bust for the Dons in their quest to make the top 6…..although in all truth it is likely already bust. And for Celtic, 3 points are a must in their quest to ramp the pressure up on Hearts at the summit. Here’s my take ahead of another midweek game at Pittodrie. And also my initial thoughts on the Red TV interview providing an update on the managerial hunt.

VAR and refereeing decisions have been under the microscope in recent weeks with Celtic calling for an “urgent review.” Here I outline the litany of issues which could have a huge bearing on both ends of the table.

Another dramatic weekend in the Scottish Premiership. Huge drama culminating in a pulsating Old Firm match on Sunday. Here are my thoughts on the action together with a contribution from regular listener Gavin all the way from Singapore.
