Penalties, professionalism rejectedSo principled, in fact, was Corinthians' ethos fifa 14 coins buy that some of the club's practices now seem comical, and belonging to a bygone age. If, for example, their opponents lost a player to injury or dismissal, they would immediately and voluntarily remove one of their own men from the fray to retain a fair and level playing field. Even more amazing was their steadfast refusal to score from penalty kicks, which they would tap back to the opposition goalkeeper, content in the belief that no one would ever attempt to gain an unfair advantage by deliberately fouling an opponent. Penalties, in Corinthians' view, were ‘ungentlemanly'.

There was also no question of arguing with the referee at a club that stuck steadfastly to a strict moral code. One of its founders, NL ‘Pa' Jackson, wrote in his autobiography that a footballer should be someone who “has learned to control his anger, to be considerate to his fellow men, to take no mean advantage, to resent as dishonour the very suspicion of trickery, and to bear aloft a cheerful countenance under disappointment. ”Jackson's abhorrence of dishonesty and ill discipline was matched only by his opposition to professionalism. Indeed, Corinthians initially refused to join The Football League or to compete in the FA Cup, and it was in 1923 over 40 years after their foundation that they agreed to “depart from their usual rules and to take part in a contest which did not have charity as its primary object" by entering the latter event.

Had they been involved in these elite competitions, it is likely that Corinthians would have swept the board. Evidence of that is their 8 1 win over Blackburn Rovers shortly after the Lancashire outfit's victory in the 1884 FA Cup final, and a 10–3 thrashing of the Bury team that had put six unanswered goals past Derby County in the 1903 decider. Their first tangible success came when they beat Aston Villa, then English champions, in the charitable Sheriff of London Shield in 1900. Four years later, they hammered Manchester United 11 3, a scoreline which www.fifacoinsworld.co.uk remains the Red Devils' heaviest ever defeat.
