Dept. of Energy boss Petrie tasked by Cullen with fast-track investigation gave 2 options.
1=Blame 2 dead men
2=Blame Dept. of Energy for allowing Oxy's rig to become death-trap
No prizes for guessing which Petrie/Cullen preferred.

The good people who are protesting today are the same people who dipped into their savings & saved the club when it was in danger of going bust.
The suits treat the fans as a customer base to use as cash cows.
They should heed today's events.

Kieran Tierney

Most of all in last night's match I was just most happy & proud for Tierney who really has been thru hell with his injuries.

What a timeless goal and it was no fluke, he did that only last week too...

Just hoping his rehabilitation continues on the right road. 🍀

But while Lord Cullen was highly critical of almost every aspect of Oxy’s management, especially the Permit To Work system, he was largely silent on the body that was supposed to regulate oil platforms & make sure they were up to scratch, the Department of Energy.
