That map makes it look like Waterford are akin to that team from Vladivostok that got to the Russian top flight a few years ago.
Draw a line from SLigo to Longford to Dublin and there is only one team south of it.

Boost for League of Ireland fans with streaming service in both divisions this year
EXCLUSIVE: WATCHLOI to return with tweaks while First Division clubs trial AI system
SSE Airtricity League games in both divisions will be streamed this season in a big boost for football fans.
With games still behind-closed-doors for the foreseeable future, supporters feared a blackout amid uncertainty over WATCHLOI’s future.
Subscriptions for the joint FAI-RTE venture - in the second-half of last season - were below expectations and continuing for a full 2021 campaign was seen as unlikely.
Niall Quinn - a driving force in its inception when he worked for the FAI - said last week that WATCHLOI had been “half-decent while it lasted”.
But Mirror Sport understands a deal to continue the arrangement for the first-half of the season at least - with some tweaks - is close to completion.
Customers are likely to be hit with a slight price increase for instance, although it is unclear yet what the package will cost.
Two Premier Division matches have again been slated for Fridays, at 5.45pm and 7.45pm respectively.
But three remaining three top-flight games are earmarked for Saturday evenings, kicking-off simultaneously at 6.00pm.
RTE will continue to provide its cameras for these games until the summer, when the WATCHLOI situation will be reviewed. The possibility of co-commentators has also been explored.
First Division matches will also be streamed online, but through a different platform.
Plans to install the Pixellot camera system currently being used by Scottish Championship clubs are at an advanced stage.
Those unmanned cameras use artificial intelligence (AI) to track the ball and - sources claim - will be installed across First Division grounds at no additional cost.
In October, the AI camera mixed up a linesman’s bald head for the football in a clash between Inverness and Ayr United and repeatedly tracked it instead of the play.
But the product has been deemed a success in Scotland with sources insisting the picture quality is far superior to that of TRACKCHAMP.
It is hoped that some Women’s Nations League games will also be streamed using this AI platform, but intermittently at first because of facilities at some grounds.

Watch Loi got 11,000 subscribers last season. Pitiful.
Cobh beat Longford 3-2 away tonight- expect Ramblers to have another excellent u-23 style side again this season who with UCD will play some great football but simply are in the wrong type of league… they should be playing the portugese lower semi pro 5th league or something like that… never going to get promoted as they cant hack getting the absolute shite kicked out of them by physical teams but still will always put on a show…for a completely amateur set up on a playing front its not bad but i wonder how long the fellas running the place will bother as the lack of bar revenue now has the club completely crippled
now how in god’s name 17 young lads piling onto a bus to longford with a few slabs of cans for the way home is classed as elite sport is anyone’s guess but there you go
