FOOTBALL fans were left furious after the League One playoff match between Leyton Orient and Stockport was marred by a “ludicrous” offside call.
Charlie Kelman opened the scoring for Orient in the first half, despite seemingly being significantly offside when he tapped in his 26th goal of the season.

Kelman got on the end of a loose header in the box to put his side 1-0 up heading into half-time.
However, there was a huge gap between the last Stockport defender and the 23-year-old forward when the ball was nodded on by Omar Beckles.
Beckles jumped up to flick on a speculative Sean Clare ball that was heading into the box.
Kelman was narrowly onside from the Clare ball, but was very clearly beyond the last man when Beckles tried to flick it on.
It’s not clear if Beckles did manage to get a touch on the ball, but the officials seem to think he didn’t as the goal was awarded and the game subsequently overshadowed by the decision.
Fans were convinced that Beckles did touch it and immeatley took to social media to voice their opinions.
One wrote: “Could get a tank in there!”
While another added: ” @Specsavers, do you have room for this Lino?”
