Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has received a misconduct charge from the Football Association following his red card in his team’s FA Cup victory against Sheffield Wednesday.
Red Card Incident and FA Charge
Referee Martin Woods sent Mellon off in the 83rd minute of Sunday’s match for seemingly moving his head toward Sheffield Wednesday forward Callum Slattery in an aggressive way. The Football Association stated that Mellon has been charged with acting in an improper manner and/or using violent conduct. He is required to respond to the charge by Friday, 13 November.
Following the manager’s dismissal from the sidelines, the Latics earned an extra-time win over the League One opponents, advancing to a second-round fixture away at Grimsby Town.
