Most graceless in defeat

I think Steve Davis is hard to beat (about 40:50 in the linked video) for exuding hatefulness in defeat.

What are your favourite examples of awful grace in defeat??

Haven't seen that for years, he looked well effed off didn't he...haha

Morrissey is the most graceless in defeat (or victory). A dedicated Brexiteer but he produced great music along with the greatest guitarist (Johnny Marr).

Judd Trump when he claimed an imaginary shoulder injury after losing to Rory at the Crucible.

Totally graceless.

I think that match stung Judd quite badly. I think that Rory is the lowest ranked player ever to knock out a top eight player at the Crucible.

However please provide a link to give evidence that Judd claimed a shoulder injury.

I know what some posters are like on here. They will start saying you made it up as you are bitter at Judd's incredible recent success.

Alex Higgins.

Alain Robidoux

Fergal O'Brien.

Trump did claim a shoulder injury, this is a fact. Strange because he led 4 nil.

Joe Swail when he lost to Liang Wenbo at the World Championship deserves a mention.

He called Wenbo a parakeet if I recall...

Most graceless? This one has to be up there... when Drago conceeded too early against Angles!

I think the topic concerns most graceless in post match interview.

If not then Ronnie would take number 1 spot after conceding against Hendry at 4-1 down.

If that's the case, then how do we know if some Asian players may be the most graceless in defeat, if they never give interviews?

Stephen Hendry after losing to Mark Johnston Allen for the 3rd straight time. "I am losing to people who shouldn't be in the same room".

Marco Fu has always been snooker’s great pantomime villain, and with good reason. Refusing to shake players’ hands; swigging vodka and smoking fags during matches despite the ban; and his notorious spitting incident. Fu has to be well up there. Terrible in victory, too. Who could forget that time he called John Higgins a dirty tourist after he hammered him in the Scottish Open final? Or him telling Hazel Irvine that Ronnie O’Sullivan was finished after he beat him in the Grand Prix final?

Mods: please delete the above post. This is a serious thread

He did what?

I always said Fu cracking open cans of beer during press conferences is the height of disrespect.

Yes, but how about completely ordinary player who just prefers win? How player like that ever could be graceless? Prefers just to win by doing many things spot on and having some serious power shots also plus always looking great. Which also happens to be the case.

Shots immediately ready. Power-shots also almost there already... A player like that losing a match could be a disaster. Media-wise-

Will be. Yes.

Personally, I am not any passionate man. It was Sean Connery as a 007 who once also stated that. That was cool and the truth, as the 007 only had an eye for beauty.

Let´s just hope they would finally admit what´s bottling and what´s not. And should I be happy with it, getting a loooooooooooooot´s of looks. No smiles at atll but looks. No jokes from their part yet at all lol. But the dogs, the frisbeegolf, the same shirts as I am having, the bottling-jobs on any giving moment, all kinds of spammings. No jokes yet, not any out-spokenly yet. No admitting spamming 9 years away. No admitting I posses SOME hostages... No admitting the modern tattoos shouldn´t be there. Ha haa. I am tough. Phone me. Smile. To me. Ha haa. No results at all if no co-operations...

Let´s just hope they would finally admit they should be happy with this "new world order". I should not but that´s my problem.

Ronnie O´Sullivan is the most gracelss in defeat.
