When did footballers stop controlling the ball and start bringing it under their spell?

Since the Premiership started of course.
After all, pre-prem players were cloggers

I can't remember when I last heard "trap the ball", either.

The sport is evolving into a Play Station game. If VAR comes to the Championship were goners.

Who has decided that there shouldn’t be a player on each post at a corner? The most basic action in football to prevent a goal.

I was thinking this on Saturday as the ball sailed past McGuinness. If he had been on the line he would have least seen what was going on.
