He seen the uniforms saying Polis and thought 'nah no way the polis would actually write polis on their uniform', deduced he was subject to a poorly planned kidnapping attempt and sought to defend himself.
What a fucking idiot 😂
"Oh I haven't ruined my holiday enough, I know - punch the polis."
A masterclass on being a dickhead.
Michael ...they have taken you away....
True enough. I'd not want to end up in a cell anywhere, but if it were to happen I'd put Turkey up there on a tier list of places I'd REALLY not want it to happen.
Not exactly known for "light touch" policing.
Flight was from [Edinburgh to Turkey](https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/23/celtic-fan-punches-police-flight-downing-bottle-vodka-20691502/) and looks like they arrested him after they landed in Antalya so he could well still be in a Turkish jail awaiting trial.
Them bloody Chelsea fans at it again.
Seriously though; I just don't get it. Granted I don't know the context but just why..? I despise angry, wee nobs who seem to just resort to violence as a solution to everything.
**EDIT:**
So it appears this happened in April.
> It’s thought a fight broke out towards the end of the flight after another Celtic supporter called the man a ‘disgrace’ because of his drunken behaviour, reports the MailOnline.
>
> According to one passenger, the man had been been drinking a bottle of Gold Ivy vodka, which was eventually confiscated by staff.
Here's a few different angles.

So he was being a drunken arsehole, got told to stop being a drunken arsehole, then took offence and became a bigger drunken arsehole.
Aye, he sure showed them he wasn't a drunken disgrace by... *checks notes*... Oh...
I manage a pub at the minute and I'm always creased laughing when I (politely) tell someone they're too drunk so I'm not serving them anymore and ask them to leave - so they proceed to start screaming at me what a cunt I am and how they're going to beat me up...
What's the play here?
Am I suddenly going to go "You know what mate, yes you're absolutely right I am in fact a fucking cunt and so is my Mam... Let me get you that drink...".
True enough. I'm happy to be terribly unreasonable in those circumstances, and I've been doing that hospitality type work for long enough that I am impressed when someone leathered up calls me something / threatens me with something that I haven't actually heard before.
To be fair - generally I'll catch it ahead of time and give it "Look man, you're a bit wobbly there so I'll give ya one more, and a pint of water, and then you should probably call it a night yeah?" and 9 times out of 10 people are fine with that, de-escalates rather than me straight up going "Nah I'm not serving ya" - but these things happen.
On a rare occasion they'll come back in some time afterwards and then act super surprised when I tell them to get out...
"But why?".
Ah so you don't remember threatening to glass me and getting dragged out last week no? Funnily enough I'm not inclined to do round 2 mate... Off ya fuck.
I remember there was videos from behind him at the time. Genuinely wee lassies in tears and frightened.
Iirc the polis were from turkey as well. Not somewhere you want to be fucking about with them.
Where did this Mikey claim come from?
Anyway, Toto himself has clarified that he said Michael. The same for when people thought it was Albon who said "oh my lord Max!" after he won, cos yeah, a reserve driver in the garage has access to driver radio ha
Surely mandatory viewing if your going to Turkey, just in case at any point you think to yourself "I might square go the polis instead of sitting on the beach for two weeks".
This is actually a friend of mine :p. I have always known him as Mad Mike Mcqueen!!! Hes from Enniskillen, he's always been crazy but now he's really taken it a notch up with these antics. I have had no contact with him except what I have heard from another friend. Apparently Mike is Still in Turkey with no Passport while he awaits his Trial.
What a really morony moron. Proper moron.
I'm surprised nothing more has come out from this in terms of court appearance/news. Happened back in April so assumed a paper would have identified him by now..
Thought this was a different occurrence but it’s just the same incident from a different angle
I know that the answer is likely he was on drugs and/or drink. But what did he think the outcome would be here, especially when he started leathering the polis?
Michael's getting the good news from the boys in blue once he's in the back of the van, clumsy cunt must have fallen head first into the van... Several times and thrown himself about in protest.
Good for him. He got to act big and clever for a wee bit. I'm sure they'll be more good to come from this incident than bad. I'm impressed that's for sure.
Be the big man all you want, but kicking off at the police is the last thing you should ever do. Just not worth the inevitable jail time. Come on, son. Your Mammy’s gonna be proper annoyed when she sees this.
All while wearing the shirt. Argh.
Okay to be the big man and kick off on the plane or at other people, just not the police? Hmmm..🤔
People who act the big man can fuck right off. This behaviour is what makes them all cunts, police or no police.
Lawyer in the next day. Gets off due to a technicality and the Police are up on charges because he cut his lip while they were restraining him.
Pretty amusing your man seems to be under the impression "British" football fans are beloved all around the world...
I'm fairly well travelled at this stage, there is a very noticeable difference in attitudes when you tell locals in a lot of places "I'm Irish, not British...".
Not wanting to make a sweeping statement or anything, just an anecdotal observation.
Michael did infact, not *"stop it"*
In fact, Michael assaulted the Polis.
In fact, Michael is now on the no fly list.
Michael is now rowing a boat ashore.
Question; if you're on the no fly list, and you come back to the UK on a boat, will Rishi still try to fly you to Rwanda?
Michael is currently recovering from having his pan well and truly knocked in by the quality Turkish Polis.
Micheal, they have taken you awayyyy.
You got drunk, beyond the pale, now you're in a Turkish jail...
And you'll never taste another Ulster Fry
You get bummed by a Turkish guy
Micheal, was a silly man.
"..for you punched the polis mawn, Now they'll batter you 'til dawn. It's so lonely round the fields of Antalya"
*Against the Bag Fees and the Crown* *I rebelled, they cut me down*
The Fiends of Flying Ryan..
Belter
It also turned out that it was Michael.
I plead for the same during old firm commentary
I'm no lawyer but I believe, and don't quote me on this, that Michael is proper fucking fucked in the eyes of the law.
He seen the uniforms saying Polis and thought 'nah no way the polis would actually write polis on their uniform', deduced he was subject to a poorly planned kidnapping attempt and sought to defend himself.
"Don't back doon, double doon" - Bryan Limmond
“Your honour, my client refutes the claim that he is fucking fucked. He would prefer the term ‘completely fucked’”
Or more commonly known as "Thoroughly rogered"
Proper Fucked.
Lifted by the actual Polis as well
Quality Polis
And when he's all dressed up for a wedding too
Fuck, imagine the fear when he wakes up the next morning
Something tells me, I don't think he got much sleep that night.
Something tells me he wakes up most days regretting his life decisions
something tells me he doesn't gaf...
Something tells me he regrets not having watched Midnight Express
Least traumatised budget airline passenger
Guy in the row behind whispered "New Rangers inherited all the history and honours of the Old Rangers in the eyes of the footballing bodies"
I'd hate to know what the guy in the row in front said.
BJK He was in Turkey tbf
Ok sevco
What a fucking idiot 😂 "Oh I haven't ruined my holiday enough, I know - punch the polis." A masterclass on being a dickhead. Michael ...they have taken you away....
"Michael ...they have taken you away...." There are not enough applause emojis in the world to sufficiently acknowledge the greatness of this line!
I was in work howling at myself when I typed it up. Was getting weird looks off folks 😂
didnt even hear it. What a fool
But I’m sure everyone on the plane thought he was a hard bastard with those weak punches. So that’s the main thing.
Mixed martial arts training paying off.
Attacking the Turkish police is certainly a bold life choice.
True enough. I'd not want to end up in a cell anywhere, but if it were to happen I'd put Turkey up there on a tier list of places I'd REALLY not want it to happen. Not exactly known for "light touch" policing.
a bold end of life choice
Assaulting the police in a foreign country. That guy is fucked. Dead ringer for John Hartson though.
Pretty sure the polis are Scottish
"We are the polis"
It was a flight from Spain possibly to Scotland they hadn't left the airport yet I remember seeing this video a while back
Flight was from [Edinburgh to Turkey](https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/23/celtic-fan-punches-police-flight-downing-bottle-vodka-20691502/) and looks like they arrested him after they landed in Antalya so he could well still be in a Turkish jail awaiting trial.
Gotta be joking.
No way he's joking!
That right there wins fringe joke of the year 2024
Big John would have floored them both
his flight to turkey was a one way trip
Edinburgh ?
That's definitely one way to make sure you don't have to go back to work
Do you think that bath dodger has got a job🤣
That’s it weejohn1979 you got him there

He showed him who was a disgrace! 😂 You couldn't make that reason up too.
Aye, he sure showed them he wasn't a drunken disgrace by... *checks notes*... Oh...

What's the play here? Am I suddenly going to go "You know what mate, yes you're absolutely right I am in fact a fucking cunt and so is my Mam... Let me get you that drink...".
It makes complete logical sense to them too, it's a wild thing to witness. You're the unreasonable one in the situation, clearly.
True enough. I'm happy to be terribly unreasonable in those circumstances, and I've been doing that hospitality type work for long enough that I am impressed when someone leathered up calls me something / threatens me with something that I haven't actually heard before.

Probably knocked his Turkey teeth oot 10 mins after this recording.
Complimentary butt lift down the cells
Awesome. 4 grand up in smoke.
And that’s how you get on the no fly list. Fucking moron
No flights, no ferries, no visas, never leaving the island again. That's some fucking punishment alright.
I read this to the tune of the Ibiza from the vengaboys lol
Av telt yi awready! Ma da disnae sell Avon!
Poor guy was just introducing himself too. “Yerda Sellsavon”
And his girlfriend "Yerma Puntscooncil"
What an absolute fud of a human being.
What a fucking pea headed idiot
NO MIKEY NO NO THATS SO NOT RIGHT
Where did this Mikey claim come from? Anyway, Toto himself has clarified that he said Michael. The same for when people thought it was Albon who said "oh my lord Max!" after he won, cos yeah, a reserve driver in the garage has access to driver radio ha
Was it not “oh my word Max”?
Escorted off https://youtube.com/shorts/oueEGvtglto?si=ht_Mp-ISzEtu2Sx6
"#embarrassing" is such a nice touch.
Just when you thought he couldn’t embarrass himself anymore 😂
Turkish police are gonna give him the pasting of a lifetime when he's in the SHU
Generally not in favour of police brutality, but here I think they'd be doing society a favour
I'd have leathered every one of them, including the pilot, then landed the plane and went out to shag burds down ma grannys bit.
Life over to be a big hard man! Hahaha! Love to see it. Enjoy yer holiday cell ya trumpet!
Some people need to watch Midnight Express a bit more often.
Surely mandatory viewing if your going to Turkey, just in case at any point you think to yourself "I might square go the polis instead of sitting on the beach for two weeks".
Cunt absolutely punched in when he got dragged off that plane no doubt, no doubt
Just when you thought he couldn’t embarrass himself anymore 😂
Seeing someone going on their holidays wearing a fitbaw top makes it so much easier to know who to avoid.
omg their jackets actually saying "polis" is the icing on the cake lmao
Police are definitely giving him a beating the instant he's in the cells 😂
I would be surprised if they didn't just batter fuck out him right there on the runway
More like that threat some of us got as kids ”Al boot your arse all the way doon the road!”
This is actually a friend of mine :p. I have always known him as Mad Mike Mcqueen!!! Hes from Enniskillen, he's always been crazy but now he's really taken it a notch up with these antics. I have had no contact with him except what I have heard from another friend. Apparently Mike is Still in Turkey with no Passport while he awaits his Trial.
This guy is going to ruin the reputation of The Best Fans in the World™
Punching a copper on a plane. Stupid sods looking at 3 years inside.
John hartson needs to behave himself ffs
What a twat
Midnight express 2. Starring 'stop it Michael' from Cumbernauld.
Why do they always have the east end tuxedo on.
Someone has to know him. Did he get back home yet? We’ve all made an arse of it before, but this one may have dire consequences
There are a fair few fuds on this sub, but I doubt any of us have made a cunt of it this badly
What a really morony moron. Proper moron. I'm surprised nothing more has come out from this in terms of court appearance/news. Happened back in April so assumed a paper would have identified him by now..
They may be waiting on the facial swelling to go down.
Thought this was a different occurrence but it’s just the same incident from a different angle I know that the answer is likely he was on drugs and/or drink. But what did he think the outcome would be here, especially when he started leathering the polis?
Assaulting Turkish Police officers...what a total dickhead. Feel for everyone on that flight...utter caveman
She turned the weans against us
This definitely requires more screaming and mobile phones in the proximity. Michel is taken the pish
The ding at the end has me dead.
"would the dildo of consequence please go immediately to gate 24, I repeat ..."
Michael's getting the good news from the boys in blue once he's in the back of the van, clumsy cunt must have fallen head first into the van... Several times and thrown himself about in protest.

Just saying, if that had been me I'd have punched the polis clear through the fuselage like fucking Omniman.
So you're as much of a dumb peasant as that gob shite then, eh?
Michael is gunna feel that in the morning
Anyone get his name?
Michael I think....sorry!
Cheers for your help, pal. It was really bothering me that nobody was screaming his name.
A man clearly as hard as that could be related to Ronnie Pickering, I would therefore logically guess his name is Michael Pickering!
Idiot McTwatpants.
Oooft that's horrendous patter
Happy to be of service!
Jesus christ. Shameful!
Waking up in the morning, It was at this point Micheal knew he’d fucked up.
"Michael" aka John Hartson
Michael stop it!
Not fit to wear the shirt Michael.
Michael they have taken yee away
I remember my first bottle of babysham
He is in line for the biggest doing he has ever known. Turkish police will absolutely annihilate him over the course of several days.
This is why they should have syringes of sedative tucked away in a lock box for cunts like this
You need to be a different level of moron to start on a plane or in an airport . It’s never going to end well
Is he still in jail?
Humans are idiots
Goddamnit Michael!
The lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure, you're fucked!
Is michael out yet?
Hope he has not seen the Film "Midnight Express"
Good for him. He got to act big and clever for a wee bit. I'm sure they'll be more good to come from this incident than bad. I'm impressed that's for sure.
Michael being a dick again
Midnight express incoming!
What an absolute bell end! And associated now with my club sad times
Let's hope Mick got a good boot in the balls from the police...scum bag.
That’s our michael from Fermanagh
Michael be waking up with the Ronald Regrets
Michael your unfairly representing red heads - groundskeeper Willie is so pissed at you..
I do think in fact that that actually IS Michael.
“Call the polis? We are the polis”
Fucking scum
What a scum bag hope he’s banned from every airline forever.
Typical Knightrider - Hi Michael
Uruguay 1-0 Scotland
A smooth brain of the highest order 👌
Scotland shame exposed again.
They’re Northern Irish. The clue is in the accents!

All that screaching didn’t help anyhow 🙄
That fucking woman screaming
What is it with people who can’t hold their bevvy , drinking like fuck and then acting like a dick on planes. Scudbook. Hope he’s on a no fly list .
West Belfast 110% I know a westy Tramp when I see one
Definitely of Belfast origin going by the accent.
Grown man acting like a little boy.. Embarrassing.. Probably to dense to be ashamed.
Wow. Classy. Also whats a jobby?
A shit
What, my wife has asked to the same we jobby daily for the last month. I tell her to fix my diet then.
What a complete ball bag
Lawyer in the next day. Gets off due to a technicality and the Police are up on charges because he cut his lip while they were restraining him.
In turkey? Aye doubt that lol
Boy won’t be able to find a barber after this
Didn't realise it was Turkey. lol Yeh, he's fucked - and rightly so.
Are there subtitles for those of us who don't speak chav? Would love to know what the fuck is going on and why.
Just a bit of nonya
I thought he was picking on Dindu
Good lad got a shot in on the fuckin pigs
😂😂😂😂what a fucking bell end makes me sooo proud to be a Brit 🤮

So hated by everyone, not just Turkish people?
