Four football fans, three from Leixlip, have denied charges of offensive behaviour on a Ryanair flight that was supposed to travel from Dublin Airport to London.

According to the Irish Independent, the men were removed from the flight two weeks ago and arrested for allegedly disruptive behaviour.

It's understood the men were travelling to the Emirates Stadium to watch Arsenal play Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

Today, Judge Treasa Kelly adjourned their case at Dublin District Court, with a trial date yet to be set.

Marco Bajzec (41), Zvonimir Prkacin (40), Luis Buic (38), and Tomislav Zajec (39) face charges of offensive behaviour aboard an aircraft, under the Air Navigation and Transport Act.

Mr. Bajzec, from Beechwood Park, Ballyboe, Glencar, Co. Donegal, and the other accused, from the Confey area of Leixlip were granted bail and appeared before the court today to enter their pleas.

Their solicitor, Eoghan O’Sullivan, requested a hearing date.

Judge Kelly adjourned the case until March 3rd, when a date for the non-jury trial will be set.

The four defendants remain on continuing bail.
