Most teams in Scotland don't chart their club's history as being co-terminus with its registered company. You say most teams in Scotland don't. Can you confirm who else would fall into this group of teams, alongside Rangers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see Bennett, I put in "in this context" precisely because I thought a walloper like yourself might say something like 'an implement for hitting a golf ball' or even 'a biscuit'. It still wasn't enough though, was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that the group playing football (club) @Monkey Tennisand its associated company aren't the same thing. This is why almost all clubs don't align their playing history with the date of their incorporation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they may have to have a common kit, a ball, access to a park for regulated games and to play to agreed rules within an agreed association/competition. The bar to being a club is pretty low* which is why Soccer is such a popular game. What they certainly don't need is a company reg. number. Do they? *Yes...I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pay their players, I think they do. As you know, nobody suggested that anything other than the club that is Rangers, signed Gascoigne in 1995. Club and company have always been considered synonymous in a football sense. I'm quite relaxed about continuity. Claim it if you wish. It obviously wasn't seamless though and can't rationally be seen to have been so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No further forward"? I don't suppose I am. My position hasn't shifted and you guys daren't allow yours to. I'll still make my point though; same as you do when you periodically stop the idiocy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
