Disrespectful, having lost nine running (8)
I believe the answer is:
insolent
'disrespectful' is the definition.
('insolent' can be similar in meaning to 'disrespectful')
'lost nine running' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates an anagram.
'lost'+'nine'='lostnine'
'lostnine' is an anagram of 'INSOLENT'.
'having' is the link.
(Other definitions for insolent that I've seen before include "Pert" , "Showing an arrogant lack of respect" , "Bold" , "Brash" , "Rude, showing lack of respect" .)
