Transcript of the news flash:

Danny - You're listening to BBC Oxford. Earlier this evening, there were ugly scenes during a controversial grudge match between Oxford Rovers and local rivals, Swindon Sparrows. After a violent pitch invasion, Rovers young hopeful Ramon Doudar was hospitalised. But now there have been even more worrying developments. We're going over live to the Oxford Rovers ground and our reporter Tom Brewer, for some breaking news. Tom?

Tom - Danny. I'm speaking to you from inside the Rovers stadium. The crowds have gone home and the floodlights are out. But the drama of the day is far from over. I can exclusively reveal that a body has been found on the pitch!

Danny - A… body?

Tom - That's correct, Danny. I'm looking at it right now. A dead body, live on air!

Danny - And… I just need to get this clear… You're quite sure they're dead?

Tom - I'm afraid there's no doubt about it, Danny. Police and paramedics are going to to be in attendance shortly. It's quite definitely a corpse!

Danny - Well that's… shocking news, Tom. Is there any more you can tell us?

Tom - Shocking indeed. And I ought to warn listeners that they may find some of the details distressing…

Danny - Tom, has the body been identified?

Tom - I can tell you there's little doubt about his identity… It's the body of a prominent Rovers player Warren Taylor.

Danny - Warren Taylor? I just want to confirm, Tom, you are actually an eye-witness to this?

Tom - That's right. I am, I am. In fact, I made the grisly discovery.

Danny - Grisly?

Tom - He appears to have met his death after becoming impaled on a corner flag. He was found with his chest bared, lying on his back, his shirt half-pulled over his head. The steel flag pole had entered him in the throat and pinned him to the penalty spot.

Danny - So… foul play is suspected?

Tom - Almost certainly, Danny. The corner flags were left scattered over the pitch in the fracas after the game. It may have been some kind of crazy, bizarre accident, but honestly I can't see how. A more sinister interpretation cannot be ruled out.

Danny - And are there any theories about why this has happened or who could have done it?

Tom - Too early to say, Danny. But Warren Taylor was a controversial figure with a colourful past. He'd recently experienced a run of disappointing games and Rovers fans repeatedly needled him during tonight's match for his poor form on the pitch. It seems, perhaps, that someone has taken that needling a little too far.

Danny - Thanks, Tom. And we will, of course, keep you up to date with any developments at the ground. And now, does your dog's barking drive you bonkers? Here's BBC Oxford's very own vet with some sound advice…
