All four keepers in this two-match batch have unresolved or provisional identity/selection status. Their observations stay in the individual match ledger and are excluded from named goalkeeper career totals. Individual keeper minutes are unavailable. A clean sheet with zero shots on target faced does not imply a 100% save rate.
Reading this replay
- Scott approved playing with clearly marked unidentified slots. Aberdare’s eleven is unidentified; nine touring slots are unidentified. Tour keeper Adolph and captain Joseph Twayi are reconstructed selections, not verified January 2 starters or a verified position for Twayi.
- All twenty-two identities in this replay remain excluded from named career records. Their observations remain available in the match ledger. Goals are attributed to an unidentified role, not an invented person.
- Aberdare’s domestic league record and Orange Free State’s mixed-opposition touring record provide different strength samples. Individual qualities, role allocation, keeper abilities and the comparison between these teams remain estimated and uncalibrated.
- The touring rating sample excludes the target Aberdare fixture, the two disputed score orientations and the abandoned Ealing game. Printed guide endpoints are capped where team rates exceed them; no historical outcome is forced into the replay.
- The existing 90-minute convention and added time are retained; this replay finishes at 95 minutes. Exact historical match duration, individual playing minutes and the Aberdare ground are unavailable.
- Missing historical individual statistics remain unavailable, not zero. New cards use the owner-supplied Soccer Blast How-To missing-statistics method.
- C&D game used: Soccer Blast · PLAAY Games · existing ASN 1900 adaptation. These are official tabletop replay observations, not historical match outcomes.
- This friendly awards no league points. Unidentified and provisional identities are excluded from named career aggregation. Universal date remains January 10, 1900.
