I've got a hold of the test which must be passed to be in the running for the positions.

I somehow got the answers, here they are - hooligans, rioting, violence, fights, arrests, feared, chaos, clashes, problem.

The next article to pass is this one.

Don't ask me how i got the articles or the answers, but i hope for interested people, you get the job. You must remember that the answers come in a list of 50 words for each article, and the answers provided should be in that list, if not similar alternate words should be provided. Also you must come up with your OWN headlines.

Good Luck, in you ambitions.

haha gold.

I can't understand you guys getting upset over coverage toward violence at the soccer, no matter how badly it get's beat-up or exaggerated in the media, the fact remains that if it didn't happen in the first place there would be no story to print of it.

2 arrest after football out side the ground - front page
17 arrests at cricket inside the ground - no mention
10 arrests after cricket outside the ground - no mention.
the media just dosent like the sport and is as biased as can be, thats what the frustrating thing is.

All good and well mate, but if you were there watching you know there could and perhaps should have been more (arrests)!

Don't get me wrong, myself and mates had a great view of it and enjoyed watching plenty of idiots try to prove something by throwing a punch or two and running, if it happens it can't be defended and blame can't be deflected is all Im trying to say.

Because there were less arrests than the cricket doesn't mean it was violence free and as long as that happens it gives rag-tag mobs like the Tiser something to write about .. If people really wanted to stick it up them they would give them nothing to write about.

the differrence between the two is that the cricket violence is just drunken idoits where as with the soccer the violence is something much deeper- either racial attacks or just pure hatred for the other supporters.
