Class. Great to see these lads interested in the GAA. I agree with his sentiments too although Tyrone haven't celebrated an Ulster since '84.

Seen that on Mallie's tweet. Whilst the rest of Ulster shares his sentiment he is still an absolute cnut. Like father like son. The sooner we hear the "news" on Boxcar the better. That will be a good day.

I did think first that had to be a fake, but no, apparently not.

so after realising he's pissed a few folks off he then says about wasting money (several thousand pounds) on civic receptions for Tyrone. Unfortunately he's now been caught hosting them, notably for the Cookstown bowling club on their epic irish junior cup win.

you do wonder at the epic "eejitness" of some people, and then their terrible attempts to evade the matter- see politicians every where for examples...

Only having a look at this now, shocking someone would come out in public like this and make statements that he has, not so shocking when you see the surname and figure out what sort of mentality the man will have. Was wondering did any papers have any space reporting this today? It's an extremely bigoted opinion and it's something that ordinary people should read about and try get a man like this out of a position of any sort of power. In near any other democracy country in the world things like this would be political suicide, but no not here, this w**ker will be supported until the hens come home and these sort of views are still tolerated in our society and it is a joke.

Agreed. My first reaction to this was that it was just very sad and pathetic.
For someone to go out of their way just to wind people up paints a pretty sorry story.
Maybe he should just do what the majority of people who aren't interested in Gaelic games do and just simply ignore them.

two weeks later he was quoted in the local media informing nationalists to remove Down Flags in South Down.
then there was 'wellsgate' - when he contravened all council policies by texting his colleague poots from the chamber to overturn a planning approval involving bryansford gac.

"Bryansford needs to make this move in order to expand and meet the needs of the growing numbers of people who play Gaelic football, hurling and camogie for the club. It is therefore quite disgraceful that the DUP, and in particular Jim Wells, did everything possible to prevent this application. This policy was based on an anti-GAA bias which has influenced Mr Wells in how he has approached this planning application."
Joint statement from Catriona Ruane & Willie Clarke (SF)

"Sinn Fein councillor Willie Clarke accused Mr. Wells of attacking the GAA for "cheap publicity."
"I too did not make anything public about this scheme because it gives bigoted people who have not moved on the opportunity to attack nationalists," he said.
"This is scaremongering about the GAA, which takes young people off the streets."
Tensions in the chamber were further aggravated when Mr. Clarke said he had not been approached by any objectors to the scheme with Mr. Wells retorting that they "would get knee-capped" if they did.
He later withdrew the comment, which he said had been intended to be "facetious."
The Down Recorder

"South Down Sinn Féin MLA Willie Clarke has written to the Environment Minister Edwin Poots, MLA, seeking clarification on remarks made recently by Cllr Jim Wells during a Council debate about the planning application for Bryansford GAA Club. Mr Clarke said, "The behaviour of Jim Wells during this debate was absolutely disgraceful, and his party leader Peter Robinson has also received a letter from my colleague Mickey Coogan, who is demanding a public apology from Mr Wells for remarks made about the GAA and me personally. A letter has also been sent to the Chairperson of Council, Cllr William Dick, asking him in his role as DUP group leader on the Council to discipline Cllr Wells for his behaviour."

Sinn Féin Press Release

whatever came of the DUP apologies - i certainly never seen or heard any.

ULSTER BANK has been forced to apologise to the Orange Order after members were offended by the attire of its staff – who were wearing Down GAA jerseys in the days up to the All-Ireland Football Final.

The Order's grand secretary Drew Nelson wrote to the bank – who are one of the title sponsors of the GAA's Football All-Ireland Senior Championships – to complain about the jerseys being worn by staff at the Castlewellan branch in the county.

"As a responsible stakeholder in society," Nelson write, "the Loyal Orange Institution is keen to encourage local businesses and personalities to become more involved with the local community and its activities.

"With this in mind, and given the recent display of encouragement for the County Down Gaelic team, representatives from the institution would be keen to meet with you to discuss how the bank can also engage with and support local Orange lodges in the Castlewellan area in terms of community development and sponsorship or support for mini-Twelfth or Twelfth of July related festivals in the near future."

The branch manager wrote back to acknowledge the discomfort caused to Orange Order members as a result, and offering to meet with him to discuss sponsorship for other events.

"I am obviously aware of the discomfort caused to your members as a result of our support for the Down gaelic football team. I can assure you that we had no intention other than to celebrate their success in the All-Ireland championship," the response read.

"You will appreciate that Down's first final appearance for 16 years generated a lot of interest, especially since a colleague based in our Newry branch [forward Danny Hughes] plays for the team.

"If we failed to control our enthusiasm in participating with other businesses in Castlewellan's "red and black" celebrations, then I sincerely apologise. I hope you will accept that our actions were in no way intended to be provocative, and that any offence we have caused is entirely unconventional."

The McCreas are a bunch of vindictive friggers who simply latched onto the DUP's Evangelical bandwagon. It's typical of the 'Superprod' mindset that exists in Unionists from predominately Nationalist Areas.

Personally, I have no objection to Protestants being in the Orange Order or supporting Armed Forces Day. They are just as entitled to their Culture as we are entitled to ours. I once attended a Car Boot Sale in Coagh run by the Bigwigs from Coagh United (their wives knew me from events in Moneymore) and I was glad to see Stuart Dallas play for NI against Wales last Month as he would've played for Cookstown Youth FC with quite a few Loughshore Lads.

btw, My Father was an innocent Bystander in a 'Collusion Killing' in 1989. I blame William McCrea for giving his blessing to that killing, however I wouldn't tar all Unionists with the same brush.

Is there a connection between his tweet and the car burning other than timing?

This is what happens when you play with inflamatory tweets!

whilst I don't condone what was done would not surprise me if this dinosaur burned his own car out!

At the end of the day, if Ian had kept his mouth shut his car would still be sitting on the driveway this evening. He got himself involved in a situation due to his bigotry, in my opinion he can have little complaint. He made himself a target, if Derry win in two weeks time Ian could lead the procession for a council function to issue his apologies...

Dear Everyone,

It looks like incitement to hatred must work both ways. By stirring up hatred of the GAA, he ends up being hated himself.

But, as your mother told you, two wrongs do not make a right.

Best regards

That's what you call 'bringing it on yourself'. There are scummy b**tards out there. If he wasn't one, his car would be ok.

2 wrongs don't make a right but if he kept his comments to himself, this wouldn't have happened.

Whilst I don't condone the attack, he brought it upon himself, and for that I have no sympathy.

What does annoy me is that his **** of a father is laying blame firmly at the door of GAA supporters  ::)

Don't think you can link the burning of his car to his comments on the GAA unless you know something I don't. Only speculation. Hope the 2 aren't related. No right minded person burns someones car no matter their beliefs.

No surprise that Willie is laying the blame with the GAA...

Burning this guys car has just played into these peoples hands. It has given these pair of clowns the ammunition they wanted.

The kind of comments this guy was making could only lead to no good and sure enough. Basically some idiot bit and did this and now they're trying to sully the good name of the rest of us.

They are idiotic actions which can not be excused by McCrea's comments.

Whose (sic) the bigots now? I think you've answered that question yourself, Willie, twice over. First by endorsing your son's bigoted comments and second by your condemnation of GAA supporters without even a nod towards the customary requirement of evidence. That's the very definition of bigotry, nicely captured in a nasty (and, not surprisingly, illiterate) outburst.

The DUP twitter account has just tweeted.

For information - an account purporting to be from William McCrea is a *fake* account. It will be reported & removed as a previous one was.

I've no idea if it's in relation to this account, but just becareful.

OK - maybe Willie will make a clarifying statement, then, confirming not only that he didn't issue that statement but that it would be bigoted to suggest that "the GAA and their supporters" either condone or were were responsible for the car burning.

I see the First Minister has came out and said that no one has the right to engage in such criminal and hate-filled behaviour.  I don't remember him saying anything like this after McCreas statement last week.

The "Aye but..." brigade are only encouraging the lowest common denominator. Is that what we really want? Would be far better leaving I McC to hoist himself on his own pertard. Now he will have the sympathy of "his" knuckle draggers

I don't think anybody is justifying it. What is undeniable though is that if he hadn't made the comments, it would not have happened. Stupid actions though, he was looking for a bite and got it.

100%, there are idiots on both sides and he should know better than to be provoking them. Any public figure would have the basic gumption not to be slabbering away, especially around this time of year.

That said he is no doubt secretly loving it, being able to blame GAA members. Good riddance to him. Awful man altogether who can't even spell.
