    Actually, this is the way wikipedia explain it. Which would go alot towards explaining why it would confuzzle the cleverest of heads!

    Simpler explanation - 4 ,5 guys (defenders ) simultaneously run out of box at sign of approaching opposition (foreward) who haz his eye on the incoming ball and needs to either slightly be behind , or in line with the defenders while obtaining said ball to proceed to stick ball into net :pac:

    My boyfriend's awful at multitaking but won't admit it. He just can't cope if more than one source of information is directed at him. So, I play games with this to amuse myself :)

    Last week he was reading a text and I began to weave a yarn about teeny little pixies dancing on the tip of his nose. He put his phone away, asked "so what we were talking about?" and when i mentioned pixies, he assumed I meant the band.

    Bless his little cotton socks :)

    I once missed the red cow roundabout on the way to Cork, and decided if i just kept driving a general southerly direction i'd end up there eventually...

    5 hours later i was in killkenny :o

    I've done this a few times :o



    I dunno. I think it entirely depends on what the tasks involved are, and the type of person they are - organised / disorganised.

    My mom is a legend around the kitchen, she'd be cooking dinner and putting on washes etc all at the same time - all while we were running around her feet. I, on the other hand would burn the clothes and wash the dinner ;)


    But once you can multi-task in the sack, the rest will fall into place :pac:

    Women probably..

    They must have evolved that way by now.

    All that washing, cleaning, ironing, hoovering, cooking etc.., (that they as a gender are expected to do for the obviously superior men in their life's) must really take up the day.
    With all that, and the whole having to make themselves physically desirable and willing to submit at a moments notice to any sexual request made by the man in the relationship...

    Multitasking is almost a necessity really.

    If women couldn't do it, they would have virtually no time at all to look after the kids or admire the lovely polished underside of the workforce glass ceiling that we gave them.

    My God.

    Do you really believe all that?

    i once boiled water and made a boiled egg at the same time, i like to call it extreme multi-tasking.

    I also like to spell multi-tasking with a hyphen, this last statement has absolutely nothing to do with this thread

    Well, maybe we could if women would stop saying that they can multitask better.

    Men didn't start this, twas the wimminz and their fancy studies :(

    Now they are winning this Poll, so prehaps they were right.

    Damn them.

    Much as I hate to admit it, research after research has shown that Women are by far better at multitasking. :(

    It's because they can vote and read at the same time. We'll catch up.

    Let's settle this once and for all, Men can only run one multinational corporation or lead one political party at a time but women can talk on the phone and watch tv simultaneously without serious problems.

    I suppose women win.

    Just checking that you weren't just being sarcastic as what you wrote was the biggest load of nonsense.

    Housework is just housework, it doesn't take an eight hour shift, nose to the grindstone. Men can hoover, wash dishes, do laundry, cook etc etc as well as any woman.

    It became the woman's domain because Men were out working.

    There are now many men who stay at home while their wives go to work.

    What the **** is this??

    Women are / were better at multitasking because they have / had to be sex slaves in the home??

    It's if the attacker (that interferes with play) is ahead of the 2nd last defender (the last is usually the keeper) and it's taken from when the ball is delivered, not obtained :)

    Just to point out... The wimminz are winning the poll but if you add it up, more people agree that women aren't any better at multitasking!

    As a mere male I can sit on a sofa and watch football at the same time as I neck a few Heinos but do you hear me bragging? Now that's multi-tasking. Get over yourselves girls.

    At moement when ball is delivered , attacker must be at least in line with defender's or a defender . Keeper is the final line of defence yes :)
