SPFL Sighs and Aberdeen Lows: The Scottish Football Podcast

Regular listener Scott is on the pod today to talk about his childhood memory of the 1998 Scottish Cup final. Fantastic insight into how it feels to support your club and the highs and lows of a cup final.

Huge game at the top of the league for Hearts as they seek to do something historic and lift the league title. And for the Dons, somehow we need to dig out some results to alleviate any concerns at the other end of the table. On this episode I am joined by Hearts die-hard James and lifelong Dons fan Ross who share their views ahead of the big match.

Another cracking weekend ahead in the SPFL Premiership with key matches at both ends of the table. Oh….and an Old Firm derby too! Should be exciting. Here are my thoughts.

The third episode in this mini-series looks back to my trip down to Dens Park in August 1998 with my brother to watch the opening day of the season. Optimism was high amongst the large Dons support with the first opportunity to see our new Bosman signing Craig Hignett. Here are my thoughts on what turned out to be a historic day.

Bare pitch. Bare on quality. Reaction from the Dons midweek trip to Tannadice.

The Dons head to Tannadice for the proverbial six pointer. Win and we can perhaps look upwards to the top 6. Lose and the panic of relegation might set in. Here is my take along with that of regular listener Phil offering up a Dundee United perspective.

Another dramatic weekend in the SPFL Premiership. Hearts laid down the gauntlet and could the Old Firm respond? And another woeful performance and result from the Dons on Saturday. Here is my take on all the action.

The good old days used to see drawn cup ties be replayed….then replayed…and replayed!! This memory from my childhood recounts a 1989 Scottish Cup tie between Aberdeen and Dundee United which went to a second replay. Here I recall my memories of this dramatic cup tie!

Over a week has now passed since we were told the new Head Coach appointment would be “imminent” but with complete silence since then, where does that leave us? Here are my thoughts.

The usual preview of the weekend action. A little brief today as I had something I wanted to get off my chest in relation to officiating in Scottish football. Take a listen!
