Scunnered that we faltered at the semi-final hurdle of Scottish Cup to Celtic, yet proud of the performance from both the players and the supporters, we review a rollercoaster ride full of fight and resilience before pondering whether the Reds will recover for the post-split run-in.

We review the 'pre-split' season for AFC Women & reflect upon the team's current seventh place position in SWPL 1 (or top of 'Group B' if you're a 'glass half full' kind of person...) before looking forward to the future with Sports Journalist for the Press & Journal and Evening Express, Sophie Goodwin.

As an underachieving squad is about to welcome their fourth different manager of the season, this week's show attempts to cling hard to the scraps of positivity shown in the win at Motherwell.

We went nearly six years of this podcast before doing a 'manager leaves' show, now they're happening monthly. The Cup win over Kilmarnock and the departure of Neil Warnock dominate this week's show.

So much trouble. As the season threatens to spin completely out of control and into the rarely ventured waters of relegation trouble, we look back on a frustrating and anger-inducing week.

Pinning notices onto posts, it's your independent Dons podcast back with another howl at the moon.

Reviewing Neil Warnock's first week in the Dons hot seat as they eased into the last eight of the Scottish Cup.

Will this brief dalliance with Neil Warnock (there's an image for you) be one that we look back on with fondness or regret in years to come? On the Dons' new interim manager and the draw with Celtic.

I swear the annual sacking show comes around earlier and earlier each year. Reaction to today's dismissal of Barry Robson, and what this pattern says about the workings of the club.

A pair of uninspiring outings to review, and a look ahead to the inevitable (?) defeat at Tynecastle.

As the second half of the season is about to get underway, our report card on the campaign to date.

On events in Greece, and, less favourably, in Glasgow, with a diversion via the SPFL decision makers and the new edition of Fergie Rises by this week's guest Michael Grant.

A nerve-shredding and emotionally draining Semi-Final under the microscope as the Dons book a return trip to Hampden.

Another week in the life of Barry Robson's sometimes good, sometimes throughly appalling Aberdeen side of 2023-24 under review as we look back at away matches in Kilmarnock and Motherwell.

Maybe we like the misery? Ruminations on the PAOK collapse.

Back baby back, with a look at the first quarter of the season.

A look back to the good and bad bits of Frankfurt with the Dons, while hoping a corner has been turned domestically following a 4-0 win over Ross County.

 Professor, would you say it's time for everyone to panic? Yes I would Kent. A less than cheery discussion on the enthusiasm-sapping start to the season, plus the mighty Derek Rae on Frankfurt.  

For our second stand-alone podcast dedicated to the AFC Women's team, host Martin Ingram is joined by former captain Kelly Forrest as they review the start to the third season in SWPL 1. There's also an interview with manager Clint Lancaster, who shares his thoughts on his first couple of months at the club.

Gah. Europa disappointment once-a-bleeping-gain as Aberdeen are beaten by BK Hacken and drop into the conference League. A review of Thursday night at Pittodrie, and a look ahead to some enticing Conference fixtures to come.

Richard regales us with his tales of glorious Gothenburg before leaving Martin & Martyn to pick the bones out of a poor performance at Paisley.

Looking back on a slog of an evening in Stirling, some crystallisation in the transfer market, and ahead to an intriguing week that'll tell us a lot about the revamped Dons squad.

Has there ever been such a positive reaction to a 3-1 defeat? Will any of that matter if we don't do the business against Stirling Albion on Friday night? These questions - and more - are asked in our latest podcast.
