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.
