GOAL: East Stirling 2-2 Arbroath: Trialist (40)

what's the crack with this? Always seems to happen in Scotland- is it a common Scottish surname i wasn't aware of or do most of the lower league teams seem made up of trialists?! AND what exactly does that mean? Players on non-contract terms or literally a guy on trial?!

That is not the one that scored today. Arbroath have 2 trialists, A and B
B scored the goal today.

I would have thought that this trialist is getting on a bit at 40 , could do a job ?
