    I was roped in at a biggish non-league club when I worked in London. This was pre-Internet.

    About November. Cub signed a player from the league below. He'd missed a couple of games with a wee niggle. Club was playing a minor cup tie. Middlesex Cup or London Cup. No big deal. Day out, blazers and 1st XI if you make the final, but a squad game in the early rounds. Ideal chance to give the new boy a run out.

    "Have you played in the London Senior Cup this season?" the secretary asked him. This was last 16. Last 32 had been maybe 4 weeks ago. Perhaps a prelim before that.

    "No."

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yeah."

    Secretary phones secretary at the boy's last club. "Did our new signing play for you in the London Cup?"

    "Yes. Last round. Scored twice. We won 4-1. Why?"

    "No reason."

    Whatever the level, you'll struggle to find a footballer who's smarter than the average bear. Rupert, Yogi, Paddington or Govan variety.

    In 1928 the original Edinburgh City FC were formed and the Edinburgh City FC Social Club in 1930. The original club stopped in 1955 but the Social Club kept going and were approached in 1986 to reform a football team, taking over Postal United's place in the East of Scotland League. 

    This team were the one that was promoted to the Scottish League. Now they're in the Scottish League the Board has been advised by Sue, Grabbit & Runne that they don't have the rights to use Edinburgh City FC and are relying on the Social Club being nice to them. Which they have been for 36 years and would still be but, hey, you can't make a fast buck if you're relying on someone else's good will. 

    Tl:dr- Egos, money and bollocks. The usual Scottish football combination. 

    That is shit man
