I must say that I am an Andrew Lloyd Webber fan but never heard of "The Beautiful Game" - can someone fill us in on the plot?

That link didn't help because it was deleted, due to some inaccurate information.
"The Beautiful Game" is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which was a very dangerous place in the 1970s.
It is about young people, some Catholic, some Protestant, trying to live a normal life and enjoy soccer.
However, sectarian violence raises it's ugly head, and inevitably results in tragedy.
In those video clips, it is Ash Wednesday, the Catholics have been to Mass and are marked
with the sign of the Cross on their foreheads. Might as well be a target.....
