We show that any finite coloring of an amenable group contains 'many' monochromatic sets of the form $\{x,y,xy,yx\},$ and natural extensions with more variables.  This gives the first combinatorial proof and extensions of Bergelson and McCutcheon's non-commutative Schur theorem.  Our main new tool is the introduction of what we call `quasirandom colorings,' a condition that is automatically satisfied by colorings of quasirandom groups, and a reduction to this case.
