That article is utter tripe to put not too fine a point on it.
“Obsession” has become the new buzzword for some Rangers fans who have been led like cattle into repeating this new attempted insult.
“Obsession” is the new “Paranoia”, that old stick which Gers fans used to try and beat Celtic fans with, it is incredibly childish and extremely funny (to me personally) to read people attempting to be taken seriously by reciting the word as if it has any basis in truth.
When was the last time a Gers fan called you “paranoid”? Not for a while in my case, yet for years it was all over the message boards whenever someone from Celtic queried a decision - whether that decision was on the field of play or in the offices of the SFA.
The fools who called us Paranoid seem to have changed tack, as idiots are wont to do when confronted by harsh realities. The paranoid tag can no longer be used in light of the unbelievable amount of gibberish that has been spouted on Phone-ins and message boards, everyone is out to get Rangers, the SFA, The SPL, The BBC, Alex Thomson, HMRC, Lloyds Bank, and more or less every club chairman in the SPL, led by that master of duplicity, Peter Lawell.
How can anyone be treated seriously who would now call Celtic fans paranoid? In simple terms they cannot therefore a new insult had to be thought of, something in the vein of “Timmy hates Rangers more than he loves Celtic”, therefore “Timmy is Obsessed” became the concise and easier to repeat version of this nonsense.
Feel free to call us “Obsessed” and I other will continue to take the mickey out of Rangers when I feel like it because this is not - whether Rangers fans accept it or not –“Obsession”, , not even close, it’s the natural reaction of people on football forums to poke fun at their greatest rivals, and anyone who believes that if the roles were reversed that Gers fans would not be making hay while the sun shines, or “Kicking Celtic while they were down” is living in a fantasy world.
ps I see MD is talking about me on several of his posts despite me saying nothing so far? Is that obsession too?
