It's always a shame when a player has to retire so young. Must be really difficult to get your head around after devoting thousands of hours from the age of six, and then it's over like that.

I wonder how the ICT fans feel about the swap deal for Mulraney. Can only imagine JKB if the roles had been reversed. The Caley ST holders i spoke to up here (I live in Inverness) at the beginning of the season were fairly indifferent about the whole swap-deal. They said they thought Mulraney had potential, wasn't there yet and could be quite frustrating. At the same time they knew about Angus' potential from Robbo's praise/comments and his injury history. They had just hoped he could maintain his loan form with them. The last discussion i had (4-5 weeks ago?), following me seeing comments on JKB at Beith retiring and getting a coaching role back at Hearts, was a very very short conversation indeed. All 3 of the ICT ST just asked who's Angus Beith? They had forgotten he'd ever signed for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Sad for him talented prospect , for confidence he should look at the likes of Julian Nagelsmann 1899 Hoffenheim manager. At 25 became assistant coach and is now manager. So he can still have a good if different career.

boag1874 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I remember seeing his debut v Wolfsburg and thinking in a couple of years we might just have a player here. Must be a sickner knowing it’s all over before you even really got going. Glad he’s been given a coaching role so he can put his natural ability to use, who knows, maybe we’ll see him lifting trophies as a a manager some day.

Apologies if not thread worthy but never seen it mentioned elsewhere and I thought that was pretty sad news tbh. All the best in whatever you decide to do young man. Certainly worth a thread, in fact I logged on here when I read the EN article. I feel very sad for Angus. Most of us here could only ever dream of being a professional football player, but to have been so close to a good career and suffer this injury must be a blow. It also says something about the toll the game takes on young people's bodies. Most of them seem to be in serious training from a very young age. Other young players such as Brandon, Morrison and Godhino are already managing long term injuries, so it makes you wonder. I honestly don't remember this being such an issue 40 or 50 years ago. Good luck to Angus, at least he is young enough to establish another career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
