Was there any comment from MM about the lack of a reserve keeper? Would be interested to know if it was an enforced decision or a risk worth taking assessment. Warnock used to do without quite regularly when managing the Blades, but Jagielka got quite competent at being their stand-in. Don’t think we’ve got a Higgy type in our squad any more.

Salford charged with failing to control their players

Yes. It was clear only from the brief highlights that they were on a mission after the Spearing tackle. They really confronted the referee quite aggressively. He weakened as a result.

Pleasantly surprised by that, as it is not often that action is taken.

Yes. The ref was conned. Doubt if Jay will get off though. Too much of a line ball decision apart from the aggressive behavior from Salford. Perhaps Gary and his mates ought to have a word with their team!

I'm rather surprised that Spearing has had his red card overturned

They should show trainee referees the footage of that to teach them that they don’t have to even red cards up even if the opposition are naturally putting a lot of pressure on them to do it.

Thankfully it didn’t cost us the 3 points

I am surprised but pleased. I suspect that the actions of the Salford players including the ‘victim’ must have contributed to the decision and the fact that Salford have now been charged.

The thing is the ref didn't rush into making the decision, he spoke to the assistant first before brandishing the red card

Yeah, I’d say the assistant made the decision, he was right on top of it and still got it wrong! I think a lot of these decisions are based around the OTT reactions from players. Something the game could do without.
