McInnes – the end of an era
A messy, slightly emotional, slightly relieved early look back at the McInnes era
WIllie Miller, Hedges on fire, stovies and a whole lot of politics
A few months back a thing happened involving Aberdeen FC. You’ll probably have forgotten what it was now, it really wasn’t that big a deal. Eight men went for a pint! There was a fair bit of material on it, but we’ll skim over that quickly. Okay done with that one now! Well a wee […]

A look at the late great Ebbe Skovdahl.
Free Jonny Hayes poster
To celebrate the return of Jonny Hayes, a free poster to download. You can take it to your local printer or use one of the online ones like Vistaprint. The original size is 67 x 40cm, so it is big. Any size up to that size will print well, larger than that will lose quality. […]
Aberdeen’s third European final in a row – what if?
A look at the events of the missing third European trophy.
A happy-clappy post Gothenburg meme dump
Not been a lot of football matches to react to the last couple of months, but that didn’t stop me. Scottish football’s been behaving up to it’s usual standards. As well as the potential liquidation for a good number of clubs, a certain ‘in a row’ appears to be a catalyst for a certain amount […]
The Dandy Dons Season 2019-20 awards
So the season appears to be over, subject to the shit show that passes for the governing body of Scottish football changing their minds, so this leads to, who gets the awards for season 2019-2020? Do you remember the season? All I can remember is the chat with the pigeons on my balcony this morning. […]
Secret Aberdeen footballer diary – part 3
Monday Hair has become an issue. Gave myself a number one buzz cut. Looking proper menacing, and considering a neck tattoo when all this is over to finish the badass look off. No one ever regretted getting one of those babies. Talking of badass, my sincere congratulations to Kyle Walker. Living the dream. Tuesday Dave […]
James Bond films – ten reasons they’re a bit shit
As I slowly descend into madness during this lock down, I watched a pile of James Bond films back to back. Here are some of my thoughts on the films.
SECRET ABERDEEN FC FOOTBALLER DIARY – PART 2
Week two, click here for week one Monday Decided to move in with Jeanie from Garthdee for a bit (the Gaffer doesn’t need to know). It’s lovely getting your mince and tatties at 5pm every day, and she even irons my tracksuit bottoms for me. Plus there’s the sex eight times a day. Struggling to […]
Secret Aberdeen FC footballer blog – part 1
On the back of Niall McGinn’s excellent blog on the official Aberdeen website, we at The Dandy Dons have an exclusive blog from a secret Aberdeen FC footballer. Monday: Training. Worked out if I soak my head in the shower, and pretend to be out of breath on Skype, the Gaffer and the lads think […]
Aberdeen FC and football moving forwards
These are very unusual times we are living in. Despite what Bill Shankly’s quote says football is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. Dave Cormack appears the perfect person to be in charge of the club at this time, so we can all chill out a bit about Afc’s survival. But looking at football […]
