Football Association of Wales chief executive Mooney posted on Wednesday: "Any thoughts on an official World Cup Song for @Cymru @FAWales? Asking for a friend" with a pic of Welsh singing legend Jones.

Wales fan Chasing The Dragon (Q) @chsingthedragon replied to the original tweet about Jones: "If it's Tom Jones you'd need to resign." The spat escalated when the Wales fan was asked what point he was making about Mooney? @chsingthedragon added: "About the endless inane 'I'm making a playlist', 'show me your bucket hat pics', 'Tom Jones joke', 'our history, our struggle' tweets presumably to ingratiate himself w people.

Irishman Mooney, who is vocal on social media, waded in and replied: "Just unfollow. Simple. For me, it’s really good to understand our people’s views and it helps in our decision making to keep improving to be a leading football nation." @chsingthedragon said: "Is that your actual answer? 'Just unfollow?' Wow. I was putting a view held by some people, that's all. "'Just unfollow' is inconsistent with your very next sentence when you say 'it's really good to understand our people's views'. Mooney added: "Very happy to hear all views. But if you find out discussions on Welsh football inane, that’s a view I hadn’t heard yet. "The discussion on where we should invest our resources or how we should improve the game or what music people like it not inane for me. That’s my view."
