Sign in for personalised guidanceA brisk school-football story turns one costly mistake into a problem about friendship and blame.
Scott scores into his own team’s goal with minutes left in a school cup final, apparently changing the match situation.
A nasty wall message appears after the match, and Scott’s best mate Danny is identified as a suspect.
