It's not just the ninety minutes of action on the pitch that people have been missing recently, it's also been the social side of things. Catching up with friends and having a good 'moider' has long been a part of football in Bangor. Joe Shooman, who knows a thing or two about moidering, gives us the lowdown on the importance of having a good 'moider'...
"Moider is a brilliant word: if you're a moiderer, people will be surreptitiously warned about you in the pub. At the same time, moidering is what happens in the pub - and in the footy ground - constantly. Really, it's an integral part of the social glue that holds a community together. As REM might put it: Everybody Moiders (sometime).
It is a constant ebb and flow of information, non-information, chatter, bad jokes, elaborate storytelling and sheer weight of words tumbling out the mouth of someone whose head is elsewhere and not paying attention. Hence, moidering at football is inevitable: you can be mid-moider, break off to shout at the referee, and pick up again where you left off. And leave, with your head totally moidered.
For 1876, the mates-match-moider triumvirate is absolutely sacred. You can have any two together, but when all three are involved it creates a power bigger than The Force, the Dark Side and Electric Mountain combined.
At FC United, I saw moiderers I hadn't seen since Farrar Road. And we picked up the strands of long-lost moiders without a beat. Moidering stands outside time: to moider is to be in the moment. I might write a self-help book: Moider your way to Moidervana."
