SCIENCE IN SPORT
DEAN "BEAVER" BILLINGSLEY FINALLY UNDERSTOOD


Scientist at the University of Central England have made a break through which will change the lives of Orton Rangers players and staff for ever.

After a painstaking 12 months research using the most powerful super computers and visual oscillators known to man, they have finally made coherent communication with Dean Billingsley. The young striker already sporting Space Shuttle technology lip balm to keep his lips cool during speech has been given a new lease of life. The process involved slowing down recorded speech 100,000 times to a level the average man can understand.

This though has raised as many questions as it has solved as many post match interviews have now shown no matter what the question, young Billingsley's answers all revolve around the art of plastering.

This revelation is sure to send SHOCKWAVES through Premiere league defences and will add to the Orton’s growing contingent of slick players. With a squad already boasting the likes of Paul Thatcher and Chris Giles two experienced heads who are quoted as saying "Style is everything".

With a possible 4 new signings plus 2 long-term players returning form loan spells abroad, this swells the Rangers squad immensely. In a high spirited statement in the Digby press room manager Blain Parker showed his delight by screaming "LETS HAVE IT THEN"!!!!! from atop of the Digby bar. The white-browed wonder then swilled back his favoured tipple in a single movement thus sending him crashing back into the villages comestible supply of Scampi fries. Assistant Manager Nick Parker amid the confusion showed the Rangers refusal to lie down in a brief statement he said "THANK FUCK IT WASN'T THE BARBEQUE BEEF".



RANGERS LATEST:
THATCHER PLEDGES FUTURE TO RANGERS


Much speculation has surrounded the future of unsettled goal ace Ian Thatcher but in an exclusive scoop he pledged his future to the black and white heroes.
In a rushed exit from his house he claimed he had never wanted away from Rangers and was definitely going no where. He said "I LIKE PLAYING FOR RANGER'S, I LIKE THEIR STYLE OF PLAY, I WANT TO REMAIN STATIC FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE".

Ranger’s Wing back Mark Dugmore has both eyes fixed firmly on the future with a new school of excellence. He claims the combination of new shin pads and a new brick like touch have worked wonders for the player’s form. In an interview at the school of excellence he claimed his new Predator precision shin pads are responsible for the success in passing to opposition and fans alike. Unfortunately the interview was cut short when his mum called him in for tea.

DUGMORE VOTED MOST CONSISTENT RANGER


Rangers flying wingback Mark Dugmore has been voted Rangers most consistent player by a panel of Premiere league officials.
