Reading this replay
- Official ASN tabletop replay using Soccer Blast by PLAAY Games and the existing ASN 1900 adaptation. Historical target scores, scorers and incidents were excluded from playing inputs.
- All January20 starting elevens are Estimated reference selections. Individual abilities and operational positions are Derived/Estimated; historical calibration is unverified. Exact target-date participation and availability are not asserted.
- All starting observations remain in the match ledger. Uncertain identities are excluded from named career totals, scoring leaders and goalkeeper records; no surname-only identity merge is made.
- Linthouse uses a source-named December9 reference eleven with new estimated abilities. Those eleven identities remain match-only. Existing numeric cards for the other clubs were retained. Retrospective full-season strength proxies include later historical matches.
- Existing period model: 90 minutes plus added time, no substitutions, period wording for cautions and dismissals. Restart, positional and disciplinary mechanics remain abstractions rather than a complete simulation of period laws.
- League wins earn two points and draws one. Scottish Division Two clubs level on points share their placing. The accepted Scottish Division One and East of Scotland conventions use goal average. Separate competitions retain separate records; Scottish Cup matches award no league points.
- Scottish league records cover accepted ASN replays only; no historical opening league balances are supplied. All older Cup and league results remain unchanged. No later absence or suspension is inferred from a match injury or dismissal.
- Venue was not independently verified in the submitted setup. Public records contain replay observations only; playing cards, numeric ability ratings, dice, seeds and private sessions stay private.
Historical date, pairing and competition reference; Linthouse reference selection. Historical outcomes are not replay inputs.
