Side sold fans short - Campbell

Dick Campbell thought his side dominated for a spell

Partick Thistle manager Dick Campbell thinks his side sold their supporters short in losing 2-0 to his former club, Dunfermline, in the Scottish Cup.

"I thought they let the fans down," Campbell told BBC Sport. "Our fans were magnificent, but we didn't create a lot of chances for them.

"It was the worst-case scenario, letting a team struggling in their league score so early.

"It gave them the boost in confidence they needed."

Campbell pointed out that that his First Division side enjoyed a good spell after the break, when they put the Scottish Premier League outfit under pressure.

"We went four up front and we were in charge of the game, but the ball didn't break for us," he said.

Campbell had no words of congratulations for his hometown club.

"I've been away from Dunfermline for six years and I'm only concern is for the progress of Partick Thistle and finishing as high as possible in our league," he added.
