Are you a bad loser?

[Jimmy Grimble]

Something in another thread got me thinking and I'm now curious to found out how many people would classify themselves as bad losers.

I'm a bad loser and I know it. I can't help it either. I'm pretty sure I was born overly competitive, and thus, will do nigh on anything to win, especially when competing against friends.

And I'm talking sport here by the way.

 

[alex_brighton]

yes very bad

 

[Biscuit]

The only people who are good at losing are people who are used to it.. I'm a EXCELLENT winner though..

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Alright, seeing as most people are bad losers I pose the question how far will you go in order to win?

I have been known to cheat so I can win

 

[Taybha]

i find losing now and then makes you appreciate winning all the more Hence the over the top reaction when we beat yeovil

He cheated on his wife to win a punch in the face

 

[Captain Pugwash]

I hate losing, no matter what it is, who its against I just cant stand the idea of it!

 

[Taybha]

i find now ive finished playing football losing dosnt really bother me that much,on the pitch i hated it not that we ever lost much but it did happen now n then.

I cannot ever bear to watch the opposition celebrate.
These are the worst examples that still make me feel sick.

Port Vale at the Goldstone: They are promoted, we ain't
Ipswich away: they win promotion on the same day we get relegated
Reading at Elm Park: they win promotion, we don't
Sheffield Wednesday at Withdean: they are safe, we are down
Luton away: they are going to Wembley, we ain't.

I will not ever ever leave any game early,
but I am on the first step down the stairs while the ref still hasn't finished blowing the whistle.

Bad Loser, plenty of practice over the years hasn't made it any easier.

Well this is more of a case of playing with friends rather than in real matches...

But, my most memorable act of cheating was catching then just droping a cricket ball with the batsmen stroming his way through our attack, fortunately the umpire didn't see my spill, I didn't say anything and off the batsman walked.



Bad sportsman But we did win

 

[Taybha]

Awwwww thats not that bad i thought you may have sneaked into withdean paying the under 16s tarrif or something! now thats cheating

EVERYONE has done that at some point though

 

[Drumstick]

When competing again Biscuit people are now MORE offended if he DOESN'T cheat....


Some of the things he's done are unbelievable!!

 

[Paxton Dazo]

I tell you, when we got CHEATED is when we got that 50 partneship and that ****ing umpire gave me out LBW next ball, even though we wasn't playing LBW's (It was U13's). (He was Bitter - FACT.)

You seemed to take your loss at darts fairly well. Were you burning inside?

 

[Paxton Dazo]

It most certainly does.

Cannot remember who it was against though.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I am ALWAYS burning inside.



But nah, in seriousness, darts doesn't bother me as much when it comes to losing, unless it's a game that's been dragged out for ages and I really want to win.

In darts I know when I've been beat and can accept it, football though, is a different kettle of fish, I struggle to accept defeat a lot more.
