Wales rugby union team
Bye, bye, bye Delilah: Wales rugby choirs banned from singing Tom Jones hit
Song dropped from playlists over ‘problematic subject matter’
WRU facing recent allegations of ‘toxic’ culture and misogyny
f.f.s.

see below for the "offending words"
"I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore"
obviously he deserves to lose his knighthood
personally i hadn't a clue what the words were
-
The Alex Harvey version was much better.
-
Well no doubt t that'll be like a red flag to a bull to the supporters
-
The choir may not be allowed to sing it, but I bet the crowd do
-
Ridiculous decision
Btw agree with tommy
-
Could we disinfect and sanitise this country of ours any more?
Truly timid, pathetic and cowardly of the WRU why don't they go the whole hog and cull the leaks and daffodil hats?
Which moronic organisation wants to be next i wonder?
-
The Alex Harvey version was much better.
Especially with Zal Cleminson on lead guitar.
"The Boston tea party" was even better.

Swampsnake
The Faith Healer
Next!
No wonder they were Sensational!
-
They've had this discussion at Stoke City for many years, and the club have tried to get the fans to stop singing it.
That didn't work either.

Smacks a bit of tokenism as the Welsh RFU face claims of sexism and bulying, including a woman who was paid off after a bloke said he wanted to rape her in a meeting with witnesses. The bloke still works for the Welsh RFU.

Talk about the WRU going over the top.
Sounds like using a 50ton loading loading shovel to crack a walnut!!

Does this mean “I shot the sheriff” gets banned because it somehow encourages shooting cops ffs.
What the f**k has this world come to?
Like the sex pistols in 77. I guess Tom Jones is about to feature as no1 in the hit parade. I may go buy it myself.

Wonder what it says about people wanting to sing a song about a man killing a woman when it is known domestic abuse rises after major sporting events.
Yet no-one has yet mentioned this? Hmmm...
-
Dear me, what a bundle of joy you must be, managing to conflate an expectant sporting crowd singing a popular song by a local legend and domestic abuse is really going some.
Im just surprised you didn't really excel and post the evidence!
For the record i don't sing songs about killing anyone, oh hang about i may have whistled the tune to the great escape a couple of times.
I'm i guilty?
