Michael is the son of referee Graham Salisbury and this is just his second year refereeing in the Football League although as an assistant referee he has been involved in games throughout the leagues and Premier League as well as being involved in Europa League Qualifiers and the EURO Qualifiers.
The only time Michael has been in the middle for a Millers game in the past was on 12 August this year when a Kieffer Moore hat-trick plus goals from Joe Newell and Ryan Williams saw Rotherham beat Southend at the New York Stadium. Newell and Moore saw yellow that afternoon as well as the visitors Simon Cox.
In the twenty-seven games Michael has been in charge of this season he has shown fifty-nine yellow cards and three red cards

We seem to have had several excellent referees overseeing our matches this season. I include Michael Salisbury in that list.
Long may it continue. After all we're on a decent unbeaten run.
Yes, he is a special one. He is in a different league.
In my opinion Kettle blundered big time when we were playing Charlton Athletic at home last August 2017.
On that occasion Jamie Proctor fell to the ground. He appeared to be badly injured. Charlton were in possession of the ball. Kettle allowed play to continue even though nearly everyone and their Pukka Pies in the ground knew that Proctor was in great pain. Charlton went on to score their second goal and secure all three points.
