Reading this replay
- Official ASN tabletop replay using Soccer Blast by PLAAY Games, with ASN 1900 adaptations. Historical target scores, scorers and incidents were excluded from the playing inputs.
- Event date January 20, 1900. These results were played ahead while the ASN universe remains January 13. Archive totals include them; the current-day homepage result cards exclude them until the event date.
- These are standalone replays, not aggregate-score legs. The January 13 first-tie records remain unchanged. No league points, extra time or shootout in the established ASN adaptation. No later-round opponent or date has been assigned.
- All 66 replay starters are Estimated carry-forwards of the accepted first-tie cards. Original reported January 13 names do not establish historical January 20 appearances. Numeric abilities and identity eligibility were retained; statistical calibration remains unverified.
- Thirty-three supported identities retain named-career eligibility. Thirty-three uncertain or fictional observations remain match-only, including nine Forres fictional players marked *. * Fictional player due to lack of data for 1900. No surname-only identity merge is inferred.
- Partick–Galston and East Stirlingshire–Kilmarnock are ASN-created return fixtures on January 20. Orion–Forres retains the prepared historical date and home pairing. The two added fixtures are not claimed historical matches.
- Meadowside is the prepared Partick venue choice; Merchiston Park and Cattofield are inferred period home venues. Two exported venue labels were inherited incorrectly; the public venues are corrected to the prepared manifest without changing any score, player figure, rating or game action.
- James Howie’s first-tie injury had no recorded duration; retaining him in Kilmarnock’s Estimated replay eleven did not claim recovery. Clark’s replay injury establishes no later absence. Individual player and goalkeeper minutes are unavailable.
- Own goals belong to the defending player and team score. They do not create an attacking-player goal, assist or shot; goalkeeper goals allowed can therefore exceed on-target shots minus saves.
- Only recorded replay incidents are described. Private ability cards, raw sessions, dice and seeds are excluded from the public archive.
