Aberdeen v Kilmarnock
By: TheNorthernLight |It’s been another quiet week in the Granite City, with not much in the way of news coming from down Pittodrie Street.

Hearts 1 – 1 Aberdeen
By: TheNorthernLight |Hearts and Aberdeen fought out an eventful 1-1 draw at Tynecastle in conditions that can at best be described as ‘testing’. Strong winds and rain made for a scrappy encounter.

Scotland lost another two points and we’re back to doing what the national side does best – make life hard for themselves. Ach, it’ll all work out in the end one way or the other. Somehow the results always seems to conspire in such [...]
Aberdeen: Past, Present and Future?
By: TheNorthernLight |They say those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so let us begin with a quick recap of last season.
Aberdeen’s season 2007/08 was another mixed bag: a relatively mediocre performance in the league that never saw the Dons higher than fourth place all season was offset by an exciting European [...]
