Can 22 amateurs beat 11 pros?

Oh make sure you have the subtitles on .

Obviously you've not been watching the Scottish 3rd Division lately - 11 amateurs can beat 11 pros!

That was fantastic. "We must make two walls!" will now be something I shout at the TV when I watch Everton play.

These lads are always doing stuff like this, seems like a great show. The last one I found particularly awesome.

Good video.

Most people don't realise the serious gulf that exists between pro teams and normal people. I've heard a number of people who play Sunday League say they'd have no problem coping in League 2 or League of Ireland Premier if they were bothered. There may be the odd person for whom this is true, but the majority are extremely far off that standard. Pro players are made look worse by other pro players. Put them on a pitch against amateurs and most will look like Messi.

Aye there were a couple of runs by the pros where the amateurs were just trying to foul them and couldn't even manage that.

Not 100% but Cork City would only be a part time team and for a game in the Munster Senior Cup would of had a few of their under 19 lads out who would be amateur.

half the "amateurs" in that video could barely control or pass a ball

That was a team made up entirely of under 19s and fringe players. In fact, that shows another good point - that youth players that play for bigger clubs, although talented and having potential, aren't automatically entitled to be better than senior teams, who would be much more physically developed. Also shown by the Cork City team that beat Manchester United's under 19s last summer (and half the match was played with our under 19s/reserves, and we won that half 1-0).

Also, note that Niallsparky says except for "the odd person". The Avondale team are full of these odd people, they're having a fantastic season. They've only lost one in 32 competitive games in their season and that was in last year's FAI Cup away to Bohs back in August by a single goal.
