If I know Ryan Air (and I think I do), they probably left them there and said there is nothing they can do
The standoff probably lead to the bus being provided

/sadly having previously experience of Ryan Air's cuntiness

that sounds plausible
But, I've said this before about the French, they know how to protest. If it were the Brits, we'd have moaned and put the kettle on

Oh yes, I take my hat off to them, they did a great job :)

Could be. Happened to be once but with Easyjet. They put a bus on, but when it got to the destination airport, it (and public transport links) was shut so they gave me a taxi home at about 6 times the cost of the flight. Very impressed with that from a 'budget' airline, but could imagine Ryanair being less than sympathetic...

I've never had a bad experience with Ryanair
Apart from the other passengers but that can't be helped

This is much more likely to be true.
Ryanair's cherished tradition of not giving a monkey's toss about its passengers was threatening to be exposed once again, so some suit at headquarters said "Somebody call the cheapest coach company we know and get those whinging bastards off our aircraft."
