In a continuation of the mini-series on living in Italy, today brings us to the work visa, the retirement visa, and the working holiday visa. In this episode, we dive into why the work visa isn't as easy to get as a student visa, how to apply for it, and how to apply for other types of permits that will allow you to work in Italy (such as the Blue Card). As we mention towards the end of the episode, we highly encourage you to find a recruiter or an agency that helps with this in order to increase your chances of success. As two other booking keeping notes, we have an updated website and this time we've added in what SHOULD be some subtle ads. Please let us know if you visit the website and feel bombarded by ads, that shouldn't be the case. We will also be taking a break on Wednesday, February 26th while we visit Venice for the Carnavale.

Inside Arsenal with Charles Watts: The latest Arsenal news and transfer stories
Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. In today's show I focus on Sunday's game against West Ham, discuss who could start and give my Arsenal predicted XI. I also give my thoughts on blue cards in football and look at what Mikel Arteta has been saying about Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Magalhaes.Read my piece about the story of Niccolo Galli here: https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/remembering-niccolo-galli-story-arsenals-14688989 Hosted on Acast.

Ever felt the pulse of the soccer pitch quicken at the flash of a referee's card? The introduction of IFAB's blue card might just send that pulse skyrocketing. Join me as I navigate the nuances of this game-changing decision and share my unique perspective gained from mentoring fresh-faced referees. We'll examine the blue card's intended role in penalizing offenses that aren't quite red, but more severe than yellow, and how this new element is stirring the pot across the soccer community. From the grassroots leagues to the grandeur of the FA Cup, the blue card is making waves, and we're here to ride them with you.Mentorship is the backbone of any thriving community, and the world of refereeing is no exception. On today's episode, I recount the recent certification of a group of budding referees, discussing the challenges they face and the essential support they require. I also open up about a harrowing incident of referee abuse, driving home the importance of safeguarding our enforcers of fair play. As we welcome a new VP of refereeing at US Soccer, it's a pivotal moment to advocate for the resilience and protection of those who don the whistle.Wrapping things up, we consider the future implications of the blue card on the sport's landscape. Reflecting on my classes with up-and-comers, I extend an invitation for your feedback and stories—especially if you've got sin bin experience to share. Remember, your support is what fuels this dialogue and helps us elevate the quality of content. Whether you're a seasoned referee, a newcomer to the scene, or a passionate supporter of the sport, this episode is a testament to the power of community and the spirit of the beautiful game.Create Your New Podcast StrategyGet the free PodCentral Strategy KitListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

In today's episode of Soccer Matters fans explain what the 2026 World Cup means to them. Glenn shares his take on the possible addition of the Blue Card. Also, Lindsey Horan's love letter to soccer and Glenn's different take. Additionally, Glenn shares some of the CONCACAF Champions League action and Cade Cowell's brace. Finally, Glenn goes over all the dramatic AFCON action and the upcoming final between Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
Just when we think we'd had enough headaches with VAR being the main talking point, we've now been hit with a possible new rule on the horizon - the blue card. Blue cards would mean a 10 minute ‘sin bin' for a player following dissent towards the referee, or a tackle which doesn't quite warrant a red, but is too cynical to be a yellow. So, do you give the blue card the red card, or welcome it into the game?

Gordan Duncan is joined by Hugh Keevins and Kenny Miller as they look ahead to this weekend's Scottish Cup action, the possible introduction of a "Blue Card" and take your calls on the openline.
It's February 8th - welcome to the latest edition of the pod, after the Reds lost at Arsenal and now have a week together before Burnley show up at Anfield.. I'm Paul and I am joined by Sean and Daz. We'll look at Arsenal and look ahead to Burnley at the weekend. We'll also do some football finance chat Part One - let's tackle it head on: Team selection - probably not many other options Formation - could we have gone 3 at the back at least at the start to build from a solid base - twice in the last 3 seasons we played them in cup games, did not concede early and then opened them up in the second half Poor first half - right side (usually a big strength) felt it lacked cohesion Second half till the mix up, felt like we could take the initiative After that, it felt like we didn't get the subs into the game, the way we have done for much of this season The refereeing? Typical Taylor - misses blatant shirt grabs on our players yet every Arsenal player went down at the slightest prompt (often acting like they'd been mortally wounded). Felt like this was intentional. Konate red completely took it away from us, Thiago and Macca at center back! Pearce, ‘He can have no complaints'. Jurgen points us to Gabriel. Part Two - looking ahead: 15 games in the league. Win them all and the league is ours Starts with Burnley at home. They do seem to have been improving - came back from 2-0 down to get a point against Fulham. Some suggestion they have modified their style to be less possession oriented. Our formation - lot depends on injury news. If Darwin plays…. Predictions Other chat: BLUE CARD! yay/nay? Why? Some chat about football finances and then there is Chelsea We will be back after the next game against Burnley. We'll start with an AFCON review on Sunday. Thanks to Sean and Daz.
