You are limited aren't you? I put lot of possibilities there to show you that a player can have 10's of reasons or coach can have several reasons not to play a player. And not playing a player means no casting time.

Aha. Well, three of those 6 goals were much earlier, in March, while the goals against Genoa and Reggina in April were penalty kicks. I don't remember that Lazio match in the Coppa very well. If it's the match when Kolarov scored a goal, I think DP came in the second half and scored a very nice goal for 1:2.
No Rab, that's a possibility I agree. But I never felt it on/off the pitch. Ale was always playing well when he was given the chance and even in his interviews, he didn't bash the coach publicly. I remember he was always giving false hopes [
] that the team would try its best to make up for the bad results.
Maybe the players were against the coach and as much as the coach is bad, that's unprofessional if you don't acknowledge YOUR role in the team. If you play nonchalantly only because you don't care anymore, it's unprofessional.
However, it's very unfair to blame Ranieri's departure on Alex. We were really getting awful results. Trez, Buffon and Camo were big enough not to need Ale to tell them what to do or not and Alex was the last one among them who seemed against the coach on or off the pitch.

If Del Piero went on a whole season without scoring a single goal and was Juve's worst player, most members here would still be pissed off at a manager benching Del Piero, so i wouldn't read too much into that.
Maybe Del Piero had a falling out with Ranieri, but lets not be revisionists here, almost everyone at the time thought Ranieri wasn't good enough for Juventus and most wanted him out, now after seeing how low Juve has sunk with other coaches, people are changing their minds about Ranieri and wishing he stayed and looking for other reasons(and other scapegoats) other than his ineptness. Which most probably was the reason Ranieri was sacked.
There was almost a consensus that Ranieri wasn't good enough for Juve at the time, in hindsight, maybe that wasn't true, but fact of the matter was, Ranieri was heavily criticized by fans at the time, and most wanted him out. Maybe the board had similar thoughts.

It was Amaurisimo and Virtual vs the whole forum. No one wanted him here anymore. And I still believe we made the correct decision by firing him. The mistake was hiring an inexperienced coach to take over his place.
Now everyone and his mother thinks Ranieri should have stayed.
Now thats true. But thats not whats in question here, people are now saying that Ranieri did a good job, which maybe true, but it that is in hindsight, as very few people had the same opinion when Ranieri was at helm.
Back then when he was sacked, it was "because he was incompetent" or because he "did a bad job", now apparently there are other reasons.

I like it how they switched to "idiotic assumption that Del Piero has something to do with Ranieri's firing" after their laughs about another "idiotic assumption" hit them back in their faces with Diego's last statement 
These laughs will get to them too sooner rather than later. I am sure about that.
But seriously, these people don't admit that Del Piero is losing hair. How can anyone expect them to admit that what Deneb says is a big possibility?
