Sheepfiddlers Podcast – Episode 31: An Interview with Steve “Pele” Paterson This week on the Sheepfiddlers Podcast, Quanny sits down with one of the most fascinating characters in Scottish football — former Aberdeen manager, Manchester United player and Highland football legend, Steve “Pele” Paterson. Steve takes us through his incredible football journey, from making his Manchester United debut as a teenager to his successful career in Scottish football and his time with Inverness Caledonian Thistle. We also talk about his time in charge of Aberdeen, what it was like taking on one of the biggest jobs in Scottish football, the pressures that came with it, and how he looks back on that period of his career today. But this is much more than a football interview. Steve speaks openly about the highs and lows of his life, the challenges he faced away from the pitch, and the journey that followed. It is an honest, fascinating and at times emotional conversation with a man who has experienced some incredible highs and difficult lows. We also hear Steve’s thoughts on Aberdeen, Scottish football, the players and managers he has worked with, and the modern game. A fascinating opportunity to hear the story behind the name Steve “Pele” Paterson — in his own words. 🎙️ Episode 31 is out now. 🔴⚪ Real Fans. Real Opinions. Real Aberdeen.

This week we look back on a sensational 4–0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park, followed by a 1–1 draw with Hibs at Easter Road. Gavin Molloy, Connor Ronan, Ayoub Mouloua and Kevin Nisbet all found the net against Motherwell, before Nisbet struck again at Hibs. (Aberdeen FC) But was the Hibs draw a point gained or two dropped?

🐑 The Sheepfiddlers Podcast – Aberdeen survive the Rugby Park lottery! The Dons are heading back to Hampden after a dramatic League Cup quarter-final win over Kilmarnock — but it took 120 minutes, ten men and a penalty shootout to get there! We look back on an eventful night at Rugby Park, including Kevin Nisbet’s goal, Dan Happe’s red card, Aberdeen’s impressive extra-time performance and that penalty shootout. Was Happe’s sending-off correct? Was Stephen Robinson right to keep attacking with ten men? And is Ante Čović’s performance enough to suggest Aberdeen finally have an upgrade in goal? We also give plenty of credit to Jack Milne, Olusanya, Nisbet and the rest of the Dons who emptied the tank to get Aberdeen through. Then we look at the rest of the League Cup quarter-finals and the semi-final draw — Aberdeen will face Rangers, while Hibs and Hearts meet in an Edinburgh derby. In John Bleatin’, we get stuck into the latest VAR and refereeing madness, including the Manchester derby controversy, Dan Happe’s sending-off and the Rangers v Celtic refereeing debate. Then it’s time to look ahead to a brutal week for Aberdeen: Motherwell away on Tuesday followed by Hibs away on Saturday. Can the Dons cope with the workload after 120 minutes at Rugby Park? How badly does the lack of league goals need addressing? And what would be an acceptable return from the two games? Plus Bleat of the Week, Sheepish Predictions and plenty of the usual Sheepfiddlers nonsense. 🐑 The Sheepfiddlers Podcast — Aberdeen, football, referees and absolutely no shortage of bleating.

Aberdeen are struggling for goals, the pressure is building, and Kilmarnock are standing between the Dons and Hampden. It’s been another frustrating week for Aberdeen. We look back at a difficult night at Celtic Park before turning our attention to the goalless draw with Kilmarnock at Pittodrie — a result that leaves Aberdeen without a league goal in their last four matches. We discuss the tactical changes, the constant half-time substitutions, the lack of goals and Stephen Robinson’s post-match comments. Is the manager identifying problems quickly and trying to fix them, or are Aberdeen’s starting line-ups and systems becoming a concern? We also get the fans’ views on the current situation. Plus, we round up the latest Scottish football news, including the SPFL summit in St Andrews and the growing concerns around the pathway from youth football into first-team football. And then there’s the small matter of Kilmarnock… again. Aberdeen travel to Rugby Park in the League Cup quarter-final with a place at Hampden on the line. No draw. No second chance. Win and Aberdeen are into a national semi-final. We preview the game, debate the starting XI and formation, ask where the goals are coming from and discuss just how important Saturday could be for Stephen Robinson. Also this week: 🐑 John Bleatin Section 🐑 Bleat of the Week 🐑 Sheepish Predictions 🐑 Fan reactions 🐑 Scottish Premiership round-up 🐑 Plenty of Aberdeen debate Can Aberdeen finally find the answers — and book their place at Hampden?

EPISODE 27 — FLEECED BY THE RANGERS 🐑🔴 The Dons are beaten 1-0 by Rangers at Pittodrie — but did Aberdeen actually deserve to get something from the game?

We also discuss the latest Aberdeen news, including Brad Lyons’ injury, Mats Kösters’ return to training, Yengi’s loan move to Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Lutz’s RedTV interview. Then it’s all eyes on a massive week for the Dons as we preview Celtic away and Kilmarnock at home. Can Aberdeen pull off a shock at Celtic Park? Should they press Celtic high?

A week is a long time in football… but apparently not long enough to avoid Dundee! Episode 24 sees the Sheepfiddlers dissect Aberdeen’s frustrating 2-0 defeat at Dens Park and ask the big question: was it simply a bad day at the office, or should Dons fans be genuinely concerned? We discuss the latest Aberdeen news, including the signing of Mitchy Ntelo from Yverdon Sport, what his arrival means for an already huge Aberdeen squad, and the growing interest in goalkeeper Kelle Roos? We also discuss reported European interest in Dimitar Mitov and whether Aberdeen should be considering his future with the goalkeeper entering the final year of his contract. Then it’s a full match review of Dundee 2-0 Aberdeen. We break down the goals, Aberdeen’s defensive problems, the lack of intensity, the midfield battle and why Dundee seemed to win almost every important battle on the pitch.
