ST PAT'S close-season moves in the transfer market have been well documented, but even they have been struggling for numbers this term.
It might be their first full season as a professional club, but goalkeeping coach Robbie Horgan was forced to tog out for the Richmond Park side as they found themselves with Ryan Barry as their only fit 'keeper prompting Johnny McDonnell to say:
"We had five subs on the bench, but one of them was Robbie Horgan so we really only had four, no disrespect to Robbie. I don't mean it in a bad way. We're down to the bare bones."
Hopefully, Robbie's not the sensitive type!
