Because there was enough ball being dropped
or kicked straight to Dublin

Indiana I don't see how you put an arbitary figure like 5 years on a resurgence. Surely Armagh are only as far away as the time it will take to get players on the team which will vastly improve the side. My own view is that there's a possibility such players are only 2 or 3 years away (last year's u21s were as good as anybody else in the country in my opinion, the Minors were better than the rest).
Maybe these lads will have ability and character to meet the challenges posed by Senior football, perhaps they won't. But if they do, it may not take them 5 years.
Not being smart or anything but who is there from that u21 side that will / could make the breakthrough. Obviously being away from home the knowledge of u21/minor is limited.
Jamie Clarke, Kieran Toner, Paul McKeown, Stefan Forker, David Comiskey and Mark Shields would've been the the most impressive from that year's team. Obviously some have already come through, hopefully we'll see more of the rest next year. From this year's U21s, Anto Duffy and Franny Hanratty have also progressed to the senior panel. I suppose the point is that, although the 2009 minors harbour most of our hopes, there are at least a good half dozen lads under the age of 22 that deserve a run out as well.

Time to look forward to next year.

Are all those Down Fans outraged at Ciaran McKeevers activities similarly outraged at the assault by Down's number 12 on Finnian Moriarty clearly shown on Setanta and commented on by the summariser? Which the linesman got seriously wrong. This actually was the turning point of the game as Armagh failed to cope against 15 men, and the management team made serious errors with their substitutions, whilst McCartan used his spare man very effectively.
As for Paddy O'Rourke as an Armagh man I've no difficulty with his graciousness in defeat, what else could he have said? Reality check required here, nothing is won in March, both these teams are in transition and neither set of supporters should get carried away either with unrealistic expectations or unnecessary gloom.
In answer to your question, No, Stephen Kearney didn't stand over his injured opponent while he lay on the ground getting treatment & then when the said opponent got to his feet, hit him with a cheap shot.
(btw I think this was discussed about 4 days ago on this very thread, but like the Armagh team on Saturday night you aren't that quick of the mark)

Westmeath have been hugely unlucky since the pasting they got from Armagh, beaten by the minimum in their last 2/3? games. ~Kinneavey down rite cheated Armagh out of 2 points against Meath, I would agree that he is probably Down's biggest obstacle this weekend, top of a long list of woeful refs.
