Reading this replay
- Official ASN tabletop replay using Soccer Blast by PLAAY Games, with ASN 1900 adaptations. Historical January 13 scores, scorers and incidents were excluded from the playing inputs.
- Dundee’s eleven January 13 starting names are Reported. The other nine selections are Estimated. Exact roles and abilities remain Derived/Estimated, with statistical calibration unverified.
- * Fictional player due to lack of data for 1900. The fifty reconstructed players retain their asterisks and are excluded from historical named careers. Other unresolved observations also remain match-only; surname matches do not establish identity.
- Orion uses a September 23, 1899 reference eleven. Forres retains Fraser and A. Murray from Bon-Accord, October 26, 1899; Murray’s precise allocation is Estimated. Maybole’s reference names come from January 27, 1900, after the target date, and do not establish January 13 participation. The two Wilson roles are disambiguators, not proven personal identities.
- Falkirk retains Rae and Burt as season-reference observations, not verified January 13 starters. Ayr Parkhouse retains Robert Currie’s existing supported identity. No unsupported name is merged into a named career. Wishaw retains the prepared club identity; Wishaw Thistle in the source calendar is an alias requiring caution.
- Scottish Cup first ties award no league points and have no extra time or shootout. A drawn tie requires a separately prepared replay. No replay date, venue, selection or later-round pairing is assigned.
- Only recorded incidents are described. Individual player and goalkeeper minutes are unavailable. Injuries and dismissals do not establish later absences or suspensions. Dens Park is retained for Dundee; the other four venues remain unconfirmed.
- Universal date remains January 13, 1900. Private cards, ratings and raw sessions are excluded from the public archive.
