EP31.5: The Bearded Gun
Saturday Feb 19, 2022
Saturday Feb 19, 2022
A hastily thrown together, sleepy, *almost* live reaction from @tchocky83 and @TheRogue87 to the breaking news from Pittodrie this morning that Jim Goodwin is the 24th (or 25th if you count Paul Hegarty) permanent manager of the mighty Aberdeen Football Club.

EP31: Broken Glass
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Ally Begg returns to the ABZFP and he joins Gary (@tchocky83), Graham & Gavin (@TheRogue87) to pore over the season-shattering Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Motherwell on Saturday and the subsequent dismissal of Stephen Glass from the manager's hot seat after just 40 games in charge of the Dons. We take some time to assess where it all went wrong for the man from Fintry and where the Club goes from here.
We review the @AberdeenWomen and their Scottish Cup win over Spartans; we take our usual look at the Young Team and our loanees in Loan Watch before we preview this week's SPFL Premiership double-header against St. Johnstone & Motherwell.
