Read the situation before deciding on irony
Na toll can signal genuine approval or frustration. A missed connection after a long delay supports a frustrated reading, but the expression alone does not prove irony. Written examples cannot reproduce every intonational distinction.
Der Anschluss ist weg. Na toll!
The connection is gone. Great!
Identify where a claim comes from
Laut Bericht attributes information to a report. Angeblich presents it as claimed and can create distance. Neither wording alone establishes the truth or falsity of the reported information.
Laut Bericht ist die Strecke wieder frei.
According to the report, the route is clear again.
Do not turn emphasis into certainty
Words highlighting a possibility do not necessarily confirm that it happened. Preserve the distinction between entertaining an explanation and endorsing it as established.
Auch ein technischer Fehler ist durchaus möglich.
A technical error is certainly also possible.
