Reading the Celtic blog this morning put a wee smile on my otherwise dour face.
The January transfer window came and went, and with it, the hopes and expectations of fans of the Old Firm. We’ve all seen the desperate ‘For Sale – Please’ signs up at Ibrox, the club seemingly willing to sell anyone for [...]

Why Calderwood should stay
By: TheNorthernLight | 2 Comments
I’ll be amongst the first to admit that I’ve not always been too supportive of the man adoringly called ‘Tango’ by the more cynical supporter of the Reds. Indeed, on several occasions having been known to have demanded Calderwoods resignation.
I’m not proud of it, but there have been times, mainly around the start of the [...]

A quick preview this one – Aberdeen travel down to Alloa to face the team that provided the first ever Scottish Cup opposition for the Dons back in 1904. That game, on the 23rd January of that year, was won by Alloa, but it would be the only time the Wasps would beat Aberdeen in [...]

I’m surprised I’ve not been flamed yet for the outrageous claims I made in the preview to Aberdeen’s fixture against the Accies earlier. You may recall that I confidently predicted a win for the Reds, based on our superior form and the league position of the opposition. Even factoring in the flu bug and the [...]

Aberdeen travel to Hamilton for their first game of the New Year. The flu bug that is in danger of turning this game into a run-out for the U19’s has hit the squad hard, with Derek Young and Stuart Duff out with the sniffles. Lee Mair, Richard Foster and Gary McDonald also travel, but a [...]

Aye aye, and thanks for hanging on – it’s been a while since I last updated the site. There’s all sorts of reasons which I wont burden you or me with, but suffice to say that the Xmas and New Years break comes with a resolution to make at least three updates per week on [...]

Sorry its been a while since you last heard from us. We’re still here, we’ve just been mad busy with work, and life in general. Speaking of life in general, things have not stood still for the mighty Aberdeen FC.
Since we last updated our wee corner of The Offside, Aberdeen played their game against Rangers [...]
Category: Team NewsRangers vs Aberdeen
By: TheNorthernLight | No Comments
Outside of the Old Firm derby, this game is probably the most charged fixture in the Scottish Premier League.
Some of this certainly stems back to the early to mid 80’s when Aberdeen regularly beat Rangers to both League and Cup wins. To illustrate, consider that between September 1980 to about September 1988, Aberdeen did not [...]

Is it just me or has there been a *lot* of football played this week? I think there have been something like 12 games in seven days. We don’t mind of course, but you have to wonder just how much football the average fan can take (financially) in a week. And again, it might be [...]
