Is the Trialist thing basically because they are generally contracted to another club so not officially allowed to be listed on a team sheet?

I've always wondered

Not necessarily contracted to another club but not contracted to the club he’s on trial with. Could be a free agent looking for a contract. In Scotland trialists are sometimes played in League games.

It’s done by clubs who don’t want to advertise who is in trial to stop other clubs hijacking the deal I think, only reason I can think of.

For years when I was young* I always wondered why we didn’t sign A Trialist as he used to score loads in the Scottish leagues. Genuinely thought we were missing out on a decent player. Was Gutted when my dad explained it to me

*like last year

Don’t suppose you think there is any chance that the ‘Trialist’ on the Blackpool subs bench yesterday was Nugent then do you?

Looks like they’ve left a bit of the ivy on it, edgy. And they’ve not even bothered unwrapping one of the items, the lazy sods.

So did his brothers, B and C Trialist.

Most of the trialists ended up playing for Kirkham open prison anyway. 🤣

What did he do to deserve that?

Yeah he’s a 2nd year scholar so had to do match duty.
