If Wales wore the OneLove armband at the World Cup, they would be booked.
A group of European national captains, including Bale, were going to wear the armband during games to promote diversity and inclusion.
They were warned that they would face "sporting sanctions" if they did so.
The decision was a terrible one, according to the Football Association of Wales.
"For months and months we knew we were going to wear the OneLove armband and they certainly did," said Mooney.
It's cheap and low to put that on us. It's really disappointing that that attitude.
We've been angry about this. We are so angry about this decision that we gave everything we have. It was a bad decision.
It's understandable why people would be upset about the OneLove armband not being there, but how could we have asked Bale to take a yellow or red card at his first World Cup?
A professional athlete who is going out to play the biggest moment of their lives is not a person who would take a red card like that.
They didn't back down. The sporting sanction had to be looked at.
"We had said we would accept fines, whatever sanctions came, but when it turned at the very last moment to specific sporting sanctions that would have stopped our players from taking the field, that is a different thing." It wasn't done in time.
Wales sent a defiant message to the World Cup organizers by displaying the rainbow flag at their training base.

People were having their bucket hats taken off at the stadium.
Wristbands were taken off people. It was impossible to make it up.
The World Cup was going to be warm and inclusive. I don't think that is what I've seen.
It's terrible that our fans have their bucket hats taken off. We are asking for clarification on that.
We want to make sure our fans know that they can wear whatever they want during the Iran game.
The players' voice was taken away by the leader of the group. We are extremely disappointed.

Football's world governing body threatened bookings for any players who wore rainbow armbands.
England's Harry Kane and the captains of Germany, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland were planning to wear the OneLove armband.
On Monday, the Football Association of Wales said that they were frustrated. We're not happy.
We are steadfast in our belief that football is for everyone, and we stand with our members of the Welsh football family.
There is no chance that Wales would leave the world governing body.
The global game is a family.
We have bad moments as a family. It's a bad time for us because we think that one love message of inclusivity was important for us to get out there.
It was a bad moment when we were taken away.
Germany will not be reprimanded for their stance, and Wales will not be reprimanded for their stance.
