Guilty: The Story of the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act
In 2011, the Scottish Government in conjunction with the police waged war on football supporters thinking that they would make for an easy target for a cheap political victory.
Arrests were made, tensions were stoked, relationships between all stakeholders strained and fans lives were ruined.
But the fans fought back. Opposition parties united. Scottish civil society spoke out.
Those who were guilty were not sat in the dock or standing on the terraces, but instead sat in Parliament or stood operating police cameras. It is time that they were held to account.
