Should never have been issued in the first place.
Justice prevails.

So quickly, maybe the ref changed his mind...?

It didn't look at all like a red card offence and there wasn't really the now customary surrounding of the referee or the "offender" by opposition players trying to get somebody sent off. Simply a mistake by the official, which fortunately did not change the result on this occasion.

Very pleased justice has been done, as like many others, I ran and re-ran the video clip looking at different possible outcomes. Jacob was in his natural run and I'm sure the defender initially thought Jacob was going the other side of him and had to change his mind and challenge on the opposite direction and maybe slightly off balance. He still put in a fair tackle, but it looked awkward as Jacob powered through. Thankfully, the outcome of the game wasn't affected.
Some day, an opposing team is going to be on the receiving end when we click up front. My MoM vote went to Jack Barham for his persistence and sublime twist and turn to provide Dickson for the opening goal and putting us on the road to victory.

Well played though Darts, as we progress through a number of tricky games, with yet another one coming up v Hungerford.

Delighted to still be able to be viewing all our games, so thanks to all those involved in streaming the games.

Agree with Pete. Dickson was very good but I also voted for Jack Barham. It surprised me he wasn't on the shortlist for the Twitter vote.

I voted for Jack as well. I thought the way he turned the defender inside out to lay on the cross for our first goal was very Ryno-esque. Great stuff.
