Headline check

All two things this headline claims are in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked

Andy Robertson: This isn’t the Scotland skippper’s first Slovenian rodeo, as both he and the home team’s head coach Bostjan Cesar were on the pitch when last these two sides met in 2017. “When the international break comes we always get excited for it,” he said yesterday. “This one’s no different and we look forward to the challenge ahead that we’ve got. It’s been enjoyable. We’ve had a good week. The manager’s trying to get his ideas across.

“It’s a new squad, we’re trying to get to know each other, trying to make sure we keep the values that have worked well for us but also adapting to the new squad and the new characters. It’s been a week. The manager’s enjoyed it. The staff have enjoyed it. It’s all about preparing for the games now. We’ve got four games, which is unique. It’s something that we’re all looking forward to.

“We’re going to be tested. Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday is intense when you’re at club level. We’re not really used to that kind of schedule at international level. It’s going to be intense, but at the end of the day, footballers want to play football. I suppose it will be a learning curve for us, but one that we want to learn on the job. We still demand results and we still expect results. It’s up to us to try and produce them.”

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is The Guardian Australia (Sport)'s report with its verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
