Stepping Aside: Casuals Radical Plans to Re-introduce Corinthian-Spirit to the Beautiful Game

1/4/2021

 
PictureHow Captain Danny Bracken could look next season as Corinthian-Casuals announce radical changes.
Corinthian-Casuals have announced a guiding set of principles which will return the club to the values of its founding fathers.

Feeling that ‘Corinthian-Spirit’ has been lost from the game, Casuals will once again champion the idea of fair play and sportsmanship in a bid to spread the good word across the world of football.

Radical changes to how the club operates on the field includes;

Stepping aside for penalties, first made famous by the legendary goalkeeper Thomas Rowlandson. It was his pristine belief that the referee was always right – and therefore stood aside to expose an open goal.

Corinthians also felt ‘disgust’ at the penalty rule introduced in 1891, who believed that no player would deliberately foul another. Therefore, all penalty kicks ‘awarded’ to Casuals will be forfeited.

Bookings; should any Corinthian be shown a red or yellow card, for unsporting behaviour, such as dissent, they will politely be asked to leave the club.

Principles of sportsmanship will not just be limited to the pitch; Corinthian-Casuals will be inviting all of their opponents to dine with them the evening before at prestigious establishments, such as the Dorchester Hotel as a ‘thank you’ for the forthcoming sporting occasion.

The list of principles, agreed by committee via Zoom, falls in line with Casuals’ recent announcement of re-introducing the policy of exclusively recruiting players from Public Schools, including Oxford and Cambridge Blues. The great Corinthians of the turn of the 20th Century were almost all students from independent educational facilities.

Club spokesman C.B. Woosnam went on record to say “this will naturally hinder us in terms of league table position, but we’re looking at the bigger picture. I’m sure we’re all dismayed when we see players diving to win penalties or rolling around the floor in order to get their fellow sportsman sent off. We’re making a stand against this modern virus in the game and hopefully, our word will spread just as it did over 120 years ago.”
​
To commemorate these changes, all players will wear traditional attire of the time with Captain and goalkeeper Danny Bracken donning a fetching cricket jumper and cap, just as his forefather, Rowlandson had done.

Corinthians Paulista and Nike Launch Shirt in Tribute to Casuals

Picture
Nike have launched Corinthians Paulista’s new third kit and it’s in tribute to Corinthian-Casuals – the forefathers of the Brazilian giants.

The shirt, predominantly brown, but accented with pink and blue pays homage to the London-based Isthmian League club who inspired the formation of the 2-time FIFA World Champions.

The shirt – modelled by recent club legend Jamie Byatt amongst others also contains Corinthian-Casuals’ motto E Duobus Unum, which roughly translated means ‘out of two, one’ – in reference to the amalgamation of the Corinthians and the Casuals in 1939. A retro crest is displayed on the breast which was used by Timão from 1919 until 1939, the year Corinthian-Casuals were founded.

The photoshoot took place at our home ground – King George’s Arena along with shots at the nearby Cambridge Road estate.

The shirts are available to purchase in Brazil and we will also be stocking these for UK based supporters shortly. You can see them in all their glory here.

It’s a wonderful gesture from Corinthians to herald their history in this manner. We thank them greatly for continuing to remember us and the part we played in creating the greatest football club in South America.

Vai Corinthians!
