Oldham’s Mellon Faces FA Charge After Receiving Red Card

Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his dismissal during the team’s FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Mellon received a red card in the 83rd minute of Sunday’s match when referee Martin Woods penalized him for allegedly directing his head toward Wednesday forward Callum Slattery in a confrontational manner.

In his absence, Oldham Athletic managed to secure a victory in extra time against the League One side, which sets up a second-round trip to Grimsby Town.
