definitive for me was the whole Juve match fixing scandal last year (technically the year before).
but it was the first time we got relegated (especially after being champions), stripped of 2 Serie A trophys and kicked out of Europe (probably the biggest blow because that's the only time i really got to watch my team compete).
all those years beforehand (i've been a juve fan since '95) everyone was always convinced I was just a bandwagoner. however sticking it out while they were in B proved that this was my team for life and seeing them back in A and playing like they haven't missed a heartbeat is really comforting.
but i was distraught throughout the process and really just wanted it to blow over, and not be true. of course it is true, but i think it's important to realize it's not the players fault, but the higher-ups (the management). it made me realize that after all it's not the board of directors that i support, but the colors of the club, its history, and the players who put on the kit and get out there every saturday/sunday/CL match and compete against other people.
most importantly it made me realize the players who were most important. Buffon, Nedved, Del Piero, all stayed. Bitches like Cannavaro left. Most importantly - Trezeguet stayed - a player that I was always against and felt like his heart just wasn't with the team. however he actually toughed it out, and even went through a period when he was snubbed by the France coach. now he's enjoying probably his greatest (statistically) season in the Serie A and I couldn't be happier for him and the entire squad.
