I don’t understand this sports metaphor but that’s on me for chiming in on a British community discussion of a British celebrity that I do in fact no a little bit about. The good news is you can tell me its from basically any sport y’all like on the isles and I’ll be like “wow so fascinating”
Haha that’s fair I realised afterwards that you probably weren’t talking about English football, but the concept I guess is the same - to waste time in a match where they’re ahead and only a few moments of the game remains, a football player might dribble the ball slowly and without a sense of purpose into the corner of the field. There is a flag in each corner of the pitch, marking the point where a corner kick can be taken. Are you American, by chance?
Yup! I was thinking basketball where once the shot clock no longer matters you stand at the top of the key dribbling and if anyone tries to steal it you pass to the corner

Literally just take it to the corner flag and turn around
