We're with the young Dons too as the Under 18s march ever closer to hopefully a title-winning season.

Tragically, we live in a time where the answer to all measures of reassurance regarding the Dons can be delivered with a forlorn look to nowhere special in the distance and a misty-eyed sighing response of 'Darvel'.

Send us a text It's a new Don, it's a new day, and I feel good. Two games to recap with St Mirren and Motherwell in the rear view. Ross McCrorie featured for longer in the Red TV film at half time than he did in the match itself against St Mirren, and from that point it was always going to be an uphill struggle, but in Barry's second game in interim charge, his first win against a Motherwell side which offered little in reply. And, we check in with the Under 18s, Aberdeen Women, Cove Rangers, Pe...

Send us a text We believe the term is 'a white-screen match'. Or we coined it. One or the other. It's what we're calling a game of football in the Scottish Premiership that has no active intervention whatsoever from the new VAR system, and that's exactly what happened for the Dons match against Dundee United last Saturday evening. We review that (unlike VAR) and ask whether Jim Goodwin is on target given we're third in the table and in the semi-final of a Cup? We're with Cove Rangers and Peterhe...
