Spoiler (de)activation on landing

Is it (or was it) SAS policy to deactivate the spoilers so that they do not deploy on landing?
You can see that on the 27/10 landing they did not pop up. If so how was this done By using the SPOILER PUSH OFF buttons or some other method pulling CB's for example. I presume the idea is to have 'softer' landing on to the remaining main wheel. However the down side, if the push off buttons are used then you have no in flight spoilers to aid the aileron. Not particularly nice when combining it with S/Eng and low speed & close to the ground
