Harsh because it’s so close but in the laws it’s a handball. The law is wrong but it’s what has to be played to
It stopped a goal and his hand is by his head I think a penalty but no card is the fairest thing
It wasn't unnatural though - his arm was raised up because he was falling backwards
Seems only you can see it was not a pen.
Not for me either. Clearly falling back, non deliberate and little to no advantage gained. Just one of those things. Puts me off the game as a whole those being given.
Whether it’s deliberate or not is irrelevant, intent isn’t mentioned in the law
Stockport v Charlton was an arm wrestle where the ball hardly played any part; this has been end to end and from what I have seen a fair result despite two wrong decisions. 2-2 and Stockport remain favourite's for this semi.
Watching that 2nd half it’s no wonder NJ shipped REG out of the door
I always thought he was not very good,looked on the verge of miscontrolling it every time he got the ball and had a weird habit of kicking it forward in a clumsy manner.

I know accidental isn't a factor in the laws but this is what we end up- pens like that. If i had any skin in this particular game i'd be pretty upset by that but it can happen any time. Soft pens are undesirable regardless of the laws.
That was such a fantastic interview by Kelman and Beckles. The lack of media training there is quality, just owning the offside goal and saying how blatant it was 😂
You have to fancy Stockport in the second leg, as Edgeley Park for an evening game will be a really tough place to go. That open away terrace drains away the atmosphere from the away fans, while the home fans are really loud.
Kelman saying that he's spoken with EFL Players who have been there and done it, like Matty Godden to improve his movement in front of goal.
Though somehow he didn't sound convincing about whether he was fouled - "was it? there was contact and I don't dive". Well, you should know then shouldn't you mate?

Orient won 4-1 up there in September, so no reason why they can't win again.

bit like a batsman not knowing whether or not they nicked it.
Hopefully if we go up, Godden can put in a good word. Could be a great successor to Godden
Charlie Kelman is 23 years old and had 19 caps for the USA U19's. Great this season with 21 from 46 games and yet the QPR player had to go out on loan to league 1 to turn into a goal scoring forward. Does the Basildon born Charlie have an American accent ? as he was at an academy in Dallas before coming back to Southend to join their Youth squad.
Didn't hear the interview but he reminds me of a Godden but 10 years his Junior.
Edit: Just heard Kelman's interview against Mansfield when he scored his 21st goal and more of an English accent and he hoped the Orient fans remember him with pleasure when he goes; back to QPR in the Championship I would assume for the 25/26 season.

The home fans are in the railway end in the second leg.

Now lets hope that the Away side make it as boring a shite with four quick goals tomorrow!!
