I can accept them caring

It's the determination to make her out as some heroic blameless victim that grates. Even if you want her to win you should be prepared to say she's at fault if she is. I always want Norwich to win but I can still acknowledge when a City player has committed a foul if he has.

And given that the pressure/adrenalin seems to be affecting her adversely I'm not sure the BBC's manic "the whole nation's behind you, you poor heroic thing" schtick is actually helpful.
