I mean, in the last decade Irish teams have beaten BATE Borisov and Partizan. I’d say League 1/2 is a stretch. 

Not to mention drawing with AZ in the Europa League group stages.

Sligo are a mid table side in a pub league and have looked completely pish in both games.

Worth noting that the last three times League of Ireland clubs played SPL teams in Europe, Bohemians knocked out Aberdeen (won at Pittodrie), Derry eliminated Gretna (also victorious away) and now Sligo have put out Motherwell (won at Fir Park).

[The General Ross County Chat Thread]

Learnt about this forum as an occasional poster on Foot.ie, and coming from an area that is attempting to establish its own League of Ireland club, this thread seems the ideal place to ask about the Ross County experience in the Scottish League over the last three decades. Like Kerry, you're from an area that was traditionally isolated from the main centres of the national game, so what were the keys to your gradual progress up the league pyramid, and more importantly, how did you ensure it was self-sustaining? It certainly seems that local identity has been crucial to The Staggies.
