Chaos at Pittodrie: 6-2 Thriller, Red Card Drama and Transfer Updates

Welcome back to the AFC DONScast!

If you thought this was going to be a quiet week at Pittodrie, think again. On this week’s episode, we are unpacking one of the most chaotic afternoons of football we have seen in a long time. Aberdeen 6, Livingston 2.

The Match: Goals and Cards Galore

It was a rollercoaster 90 minutes. After falling behind 2-1 to a spirited Livi side, the Dons roared back with Kevin Nisbet turning hero before the break. But the football was almost overshadowed by a second-half explosion that saw three red cards brandished—sending Jack Milne, Jeremy Bokila, and Livi boss David Martindale down the tunnel.

We break down the “stramash,” the VAR delays, and the ruthless finishing from Topi Keskinen that finally killed the game off.

Serious Allegations

The post-match conversation took a serious turn with allegations of racist language used against a Livingston player. We discuss the situation, the club’s statement vehemently denying the claim, and the reaction from the DonsTalk forum, where the mood shifted from celebration to concern.

Transfer Market Overdrive

While the search for a permanent manager continues, the recruitment team has been busy.

• Liam Morrison joins on loan from QPR to bolster the defence.

• Toyosi Olusanya arrives from Houston Dynamo to add pace to the attack.

• Per Kristian Bråtveit signs as goalkeeper cover following Nick Suman’s injury.

We also say goodbye to Jesper Karlsson and discuss the likely exit of Dante Polvara to the MLS.

Plus all the latest Dons news including an update on our manager search from Lutz Pfannenstiel.

Coming Up

We look ahead with some supporters news on tickets for our upcoming matches in February and March.
