I Mean In snooker terms and their general attitude that comes across to snooker fans.
No personal insults about any players please including any digs at how they look.
My choice
1. Ali carter - I think his attitude is poor most of the time and he appears to worry too much about other players getting lucky instead of staying focused on the match in hand.
If he gets any bad luck his head drops and you can visibly see him losing his cool.

" Former World Champion Shaun Murphy"
I realise it is unfair to hate him for this but cannot help myself, he comes across quite well on twitter from the retweets I've seen (I refuse to follow him) and I did enjoy some of the snooker he played at the Masters. He is the only player who I always support the opposition no matter who it is.

mine is Matthew Stevens
dislike him is too strong but never liked his mindset going in to matches even during his peek of 2000s
his standard line every pre match interview was "Standards so high ill try my best" he was almost convincing himself he was not good enough when his talent clearly was hence his pathetic tournament haul..
you got to go in to matches believing your the best he never did even once in big matches.

So, it has nothing to do with who he beat in the World Championship final?

Is Laurel Hardy the Disgraced One? If so, he is second on my list behind his cunt-ryman Hendry.

I used to hate Allen for his fist-pumping antics but I liked the way he spoke out against fellow fister Robertson, one of the most boring snooker players alive. Allen is still a runt of course.

I did give a reason for Robbo - I said he was one of the most boring players alive.
I also gave a reason for Hendry - he stole four world finals.
There is no real need to give a reason for hating Higgins. He is a disgrace to the game.

My 2nd one is Graeme Dott
I know is uncle is on here but it tell it how i see it.
Graeme is a class player , my issue with him is why he said previously that he was bothered by some snooker fans calling him a grinder and i think that shows he has a slight inferior complex, because for me top sportsmen should be tough enough not to be worried what people say about their style of play and only concentrate on getting the job done and him saying that disappointed me.

I actually don't mind Dott. I used to think he was one of the worst world champions ever. But then Robbo came along and took that dubious honour all for himself.

at least Dotty had to beat some decent opposition en route
i suppose your claiming that Jonos 100% record in world finals is better than winning 1 and being runner up in 2 more

Losing two WORLD finals is far better than winning a non-ranking event like the Masters.

Why people dislike Neil Robertson so much, just out of curiosity. I like him!
Anyway, I don't think I strongly dislike any of them enough to add them. I'll just observe from my fence.
