We discover who the true Rossoneri among our fans and members are.

We're in for a long, hard season and I'd suggest anyone who quits (or disappears from this forum) based on it probably wasn't much of a fan in the first place.

There are many members who disappeared for one reason or another, but I'd argue the main regulars now are the board's established population. Anyone not here in January of that lot for Milan reasons are the chafe, IMO.

I myself have taken time out from the place a couple of times but not for football reasons.

If Milan get relegated this season, I'll still be here.

Will you?

The idea that people who follow their local clubs, and Milan, aren't "true" fans or whatever. I just don't buy it. That's as ridiculous as saying people not from Milan can't be true Milan fans because it's not even your city.

Yeah. I've had people say that to me in the past. What difference does it make whether I'm from Milan or not? Absolutely ludicrous.

I don't even have a first team. I see myself as two football supporters. One who's dedicated to Rangers, one to Milan.

I don't even see myself as half one team half the other. So for me it's not 50% Rangers and 50% Milan, it's 100% both.

My Rangers identity and support I see as completely separate to Milan, albeit I do like looking at the relationship between the clubs and fans down the years.

Oddly enough the only real dissenter (that I recall) to my OP was indeed Max, who's rambling on about affairs and irony.

What would you do if Milan and Rangers faced each other in a final or semi-final?

Been asked this a million times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Before 2012 when Rangers & Milan could have met in CL it had never actually happened in my lifetime. Every CL draw was still met with 'please don't put them together' but it never happened. Indeed their only competitive meeting in history was in 1958 when Milan won.

I've loved the numerous friendlies down the years - in the past 20 there have been 3 - one win each and one draw.

However, in 2012 Rangers were 'relegated' (long and messy story) to 4th tier of Scottish football. Next season we're playing in the second top one and thereafter if we get promoted it'll be the SPL top flight again. However with only one CL spot now for the winners of the SPL it'll be years before Rangers win the SPL again, and even then the winner is put into the second qualifying round of the CL - and Celtic just lost 4-1 in Warsaw in their first leg so will probably be out before the group stage.

Meanwhile Milan are crumbling further away from the CL spots so while Rangers are a trillion miles away from CL, Milan are a billion.

So it's not a conundrum I need to lose any sleep over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

But in truth I would be 100% neutral I think. And I'd keep my views on the result totally to myself.

But...it'll probably never ever happen, like El-Kurto I don't see it happening in my lifetime given it hasn't yet. And the odds have lengthened with both clubs' decline. Considerably.

Wow that was a ramble (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
