Daniel Wilks was booked tonight for holding onto the ball for too long. When was the last time anyone can remember a keeper being booked for this infringement of the laws.

Appears the ref didnt know the laws properly
From 1 July, referees have been given mandatory instructions not to permit the goalkeeper to take more than four steps while holding the ball as stipulated in Law 12, and if the goalie holds the ball for more than five or six seconds the referee must adjudge this as time-wasting and award an indirect free-kick against ...

It was a bit confusing though. Wilks had the ball then the referee blew the whistle. Wilks looked a bit confused and the referee told him to get on with it and then booked him without stopping play. Dan was then allowed to kick it out. The referee made it up as he went along.

This was from the 1997 revision (https://www.fifa.com/news/goalkeepers-are-not-above-the-law-72050)
Steps rule doesn't exist anymore, but 6 seconds does (http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12---fouls-and-misconduct) . One of those rules that if refs consistently enforced we'd all be better off. Should have been an in-direct free kick I think.

I dont buy into this we are punching above weight and players are playing for low amounts. Time they started to put shifts in before this season drizzles out to another damp squib.

Definitely should have been an indirect free kick to Orient. I don't understand why he blew his whistle previously. It just confused everyone.
