Aberdeen v Kilmarnock

By: TheNorthernLight | Comments No Comments

It’s been another quiet week in the Granite City, with not much in the way of news coming from down Pittodrie Street. Jamie Smith, still recovering from an injury has been told he’ll get a new deal, and we read somewhere (but have not been able to confirm this) that Jared Hodgkiss is negotiating an [...]

Hearts 1 – 1 Aberdeen

By: TheNorthernLight | Comments No Comments

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.
The Dons lined up as Langfield in goal, Considine at left back, Mair and Diamond (who had recovered from a flu bug going around Pittodrie) in [...]

Some of you reading this might well be supporters of teams for whom winning [...]

Match Preview: Falkirk vs Aberdeen

By: TheNorthernLight | Comments 2 Comments

So the internationals are nearly out of the way, thank goodness. 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 | Comments No Comments

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 [...]
