Well, if you thought things were bleak in Poland, have a look at the team Trap's just announced for the Serbia friendly on the 15th of August. Keane, Duff, Dunne and Given are all omissions (told by Trap to stay to take the match off, but how many of them will be on the plane against Kazakhstan), Stephen Hunt is nowhere to be seen (this presumably is a protest) and most worryingly all the replacements are all Trap's squad players. No sign at all of the radical changes that Ireland need. Hope nobody booked their flights to Rio for 2014.
