I think they'll find him guilty (of impersonating a footballer!)

Sorry what's the term? Trialling with? Having a Trial With? Training with Tranmere whilst they decide if they want him on the team or not!

I'm not sure there is a term for it.

I know it's been a slow news day on here but there's no need to go making stuff up TAB, it just wastes everybody's time.

I wouldn't do that. As silly as it sounds it's actually true.

Absolutely true and utterly ludicrious.

Out with Hendo, Jimmy and Laurence other night and my Trannmere mate came out with us too, massive TRFC fan this lad is.

When he told us they had some lad from Alty on trial and it was John Mcaliskey I nearly dropped my pint.

I might lump on Trannmere to go down if thats the standard of player their looking at!

perhaps the scouts only saw the kettering game.

Quite bizzare. Would have thought he would be better in the BSN, but needed to improve his work rate on the pitch.

I put it to you that if Heskey can get in the Englnd squad, Then why not him having a trial with Tranmere  ;)

Work rate wasn't too much the problem I thought, simply a lack of basic talent, he was being covered for by being a hard worker.

good luck, Big John.

Hopefully Tranmere will find space for the Macarena dance on their terraces also.

Playing devils advocate, maybe he just never had the level of fitness/match fitness with us and he has been doing a lot of hard work over the summer?

Good luck to him anyway.

Nah, just not good enough IMO. Let's face it, we only signed him as a desperation measure because Dale was crocked. He was playing at Witton having failed to cut it at Huddersfield and then Manfield.

He had a good first touch, maybe a fitter and full time McAliskey would surprise a few.

You never know he might come back and score against us on the 30th

Lol he was dire, how can anyone possibly defend or make excuses for his performances? he's just not good enough

I often felt he had a bit more to offer but never Football league.  The other lads will piss themselves.  Its on a par with us letting the turkish barber have a go in order to try and get a sponsorship.

However the bottom line is that he was cumbersome and as agile as me.

Its the second oddest news story I have heard this weekend.

Where does Moyo-Modise trialling with us rank?  ;D

Give over, Phil, he was even less agile in an Alty shirt than your mate Darren Tinson!

You'll be telling me next that Wayne Entwistle was as good for Alty as John Rogers...

McAliskey was one of the BIGGEST duffers to have played at Moss Lane in recent years.FFS.

Sorry, but i think you may be mistaking McAliskey for Johnson.
McA hardly ever controlled the thing well, looked as sharp as an airline knife, and as cumbersone as a robin reliant. He had one half decent game, and showed a little potential, though not enough to be viewed as "league" material. There certainly are many, many strikers who will think that they could play in the league if McAliskey gets a gig with tranmere.

You lot will be interested to hear that McAliskey played for Vics in the friendly against Accy this afternoon, he only lasted the first half (although he did come back on late in the second following an injury)....I'll reserve judgement.
