The Game



Abse is at a football match

Everything is black and white - "good" and "evil" - no in-between

A lot of religious imagery to back up this idea of "good vs. evil"

"the very name sad as the old songs" - the idea that we will always be trapped in this same cycle and not able to let go of the past - remembering the past through music

"fans guess the result halfway through" - represents how like life we can guess what's going to happen - they are depressed because they know the reality of life

"the honest team dribbles ineffectively" - the team that are honest don't get anywhere 

"trampled" - aggressive, violent imager - how life beats you down

"natural the dark" - the idea that evil wins because "dark" connects with evil
