Aberdeen V Partick

30th December 2015 by Ross

Aberdeen failed to capitalise and take the chance to go top of the Scottish Premiership for the second time in five days after a 0-0 draw at Pittodrie. Victory would have seen the Dons leapfrog leaders Celtic, but they failed to take advantage as they were held by a hard working Partick side.

Ryan Jack

29th December 2015 by Newsline

All things being equal, and with the perennial caveat of “if he plays”, Ryan Jack will make his own little bit of Aberdeen history on Wednesday night as he will play his 200th game for the Dons, making him just the 73rd player in AFC history to achieve the double century. To have done so at such […]

Paul Quinn – Red Match Day Preview

23rd October 2015 by Ross

You’d get few arguments – certainly in and around Pittodrie – if you were to call Paul Quinn “the defender’s defender”. Not one for trying to catch the eye or do anything flash, Quinn puts his body on the line in game after game, summing up the “they shall not pass” attitude of some of […]

Aberdeen FC V HNK Rijeka

29th July 2015 by Ross

After a first half where the Dons had managed the game brilliantly, all of a sudden after an hour it was game on. Two quick goals for the visitors, who showed just how much quality they have in their side tonight, and Pittodrie became very nervous. However this Aberdeen side is made of stern stuff. […]
