Week 7 Lineup - Late

Nothing much to say here. The team managed a 5-0 win finally last week even without the help of Harry Shipp. He's still out because Chicago has a ridiculously long break so here's hoping.

Week 6 Lineup vs Burud Town

Even after their best game of the season the Flyers can't catch points. And now Chicago is on a bye week leaving the team without top playmaker Harry Shipp. In addition, Gonzalo Pineda joins the subs out with a red card for a very high boot in his previous game. We'll see what happens.

Week 5 Lineup vs SC Canada

Whew. Almost missed getting this one up in time. Most of the team's here and we nabbed a point last week. Guess that's a place to start.

Week 4: vs the CD Gunners

Well, the Boys in Red are 0-3 to start the season and that's never good. Still, with a full 19 games to go, no one is out yet. With every team in MLS playing this weekend this ought to be a fun one. Carlos Rivas is out with a slight injury and Luis Silva and Drew Moor are looking more and more ready for game time.

Week 3 Lineup vs. Union SC

I intended to post this lineup much earlier but pushed it back when the Dallas/Philly game was. I hope the commish finds that acceptable.

Playing without Rimando this week will likely be no fun. Let's see if we can manage 3 points for the first time this season. History vs the Union says yes.

Week 2: Linup vs OCZ

Week one was rough. Most teams got off to a slow-ish start and, while Nick Rimando put the Boys in Red on his back it wasn't enough to top the highest scoring team in week one. Below you'll find the Week Two lineup. With NYRB and DC not playing and Drew Moor still rehabbing (he'll be worth it!), the group gets kinda tight.

First Kick 2015

It's the first week of the MLS season and that means the First Kick for the BSL too. Rose City will start the new season in the Match of the Week against a stacked Spartans team as they slug it out against the 2014 BSL Cup Champions. Is there enough firepower on the roster? Will the team finally figure out how to start quickly?

All of this is, of course, predicted on the increasingly large assumption that a Player Strike doesn't kill the MLS season.

Announcements

Rose City is pleased to announce the first offseason decisions for the club in 2015. Rodney Wallace will be returning to the Flyers as the club's 2015 Retention Player. His injury during the first part of the season and subsequent undrafted status make this a possibility. Wallace has been doing strong supporting work for the Flyers for two years now.

Giles Barnes - Rose City DP

In addition, Giles Barnes will be occupying one of the team's DP slots. His strong work ethic and the increased competition that the now Western Conference Houston Dynamo will face makes him a good choice to keep around. The team's second DP slot is available for trades and the team is actively looking for first and second round draft picks.

Feel free to make offers. All resources are available including player rights, allocation money, and the team's final DP slot.

EDIT: The club has just come to an agreement with the owner of the CD Gunners for the team's extra DP slot and other considerations. The deal earns the Flyers a second pick in the third round of the draft. Other resources are still available to make trades with further teams.

Rose City is Back in Action

To anyone wondering, consider this confirmation that the Flyers will stick around in the BSL for the upcoming season. With Marco Di Vaio retired, all DP slots are up for grabs. Make any reasonable offer. Draft picks and allocation cash will be considered.

Look for an announcement regarding the team's Retention Player soon.
