Ginger Wildheart w/ Ryan Hamilton and Massive Wagons in Glasgow and Aberdeen

There’s something special about a Ginger Wildheart tour and his most recent run around the country feels more special than most. Having had to cancel the Hey! Hello! tour twice, once because of Ginger going into the hospital due to his battles with depression and once because of Hollis leaving the band, it is a pleasure to see the great man on stage enjoying himself after a while away. Throw in the reunions that have happened with Danny McCormack at a couple of the shows and the whole thing has an even bigger party vibe than usual.

Are we in for an exciting SPL season?

The Scottish Premier League has long been a bit of a joke, listen to any football podcast and you will hear constant jibes at the quality north of the border. Now, I have to be honest, this has never bothered me. The SPL is pish and if it wasn’t for my overriding affection for Aberdeen, I doubt I’d give a damn.

Not that I’m bitter or anything… Forgetting that momentarily, I thought today would be a good day to have a look back through some of the biggest moves of the day and give my opinion on them.

Some real ramblings about football

Derek Mcinnes: the man to change Aberdeen’s fortunes?

While – if my ode to John Terry didn’t make it clear – I am a Chelsea fan, the team closest to my heart when it comes to football is Aberdeen, it’s where I was born, raised and I’ve spent many a cold day huddled up at Pittodrie, miserable and bored as I watched a selection of awful Aberdeen players trudge around a football pitch. Therefore, this season has been a bit weird. Mainly because we seem to actually be quite good.

Four Four Stu

I did a podcast for university on Aberdeen’s impressive start to the season. Now while I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, I am kind of happy with it in an embarrassed kind of way, so feel free to give it a listen. Credit for the inventive title goes to Sean Douglass.
