Drunk Irish fans traveling to UFC 194 reroute, delay Vegas-bound flights

A flight to Las Vegas from New York was delayed on Thursday because of a few allegedly drunk Irish fans on board. Damien Coyne, a passenger of the airplane, described the scene in a Facebook post.

"Got delayed at JFK because every time the flight attendant tried to read out the safety procedures on board the aircraft this drunk Irish fella kept singing Ole Ole Ole & Oggy oggy oggy," he wrote. "So flight crew call the cops and your man gets escorted off the plane. Cos we missed our cue to set off we had to taxi on the runway for ages before we got a slot to take off.
