FT: Bradford City 1-1 Notts County Ciaran Kelly heads Bradford ahead early on in the second half but David McGoldrick curls home from distance to equalise in style Bradford miss chance to move back to the top of League Two Notts County's pursuit of an automatic promotion place suffers a blow with just three games remaining Get Involved: #bbcfootball, via WhatsApp on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) League Two promotion rivals Bradford and Notts County fought out a 1-1 draw in a frenzied atmosphere at Valley Parade. Ciaran Kelly headed the Bantams in front but the hosts' hopes of going top were dashed by a superb equaliser from David McGoldrick. Bradford fashioned the first chances in a frantic first half. Alex Pattison half-volleyed over the bar and Antoni Sarcevic shot into the side-netting. Notts County responded with an effort from striker McGoldrick that flew past the post from 20 yards. Visiting goalkeeper Sam Slocombe was called into action to push away Bobby Pointon's drive as Bradford tried to up the pressure. They won a series of corners and Neill Byrne was not far away from converting one from Pointon. The home side made the breakthrough in the 53rd minute as Kelly glanced home from Brandon Khela's free-kick. County levelled in the 70th minute with a brilliant finish from McGoldrick, who cut inside Khela before curling a shot into the top corner. McGoldrick then threatened with a left-foot attempt but that was held by Bradford keeper Sam Walker. Report supplied by PA Media.

AT&T Subscriber Gains Boost Stock
~1.0 mins read
AT&T (T) shares advanced Wednesday as the telecom giant posted strong subscriber numbers.
The company reported third-quarter postpaid phone net adds of 403,000, and "churn," which measures the percentage of those who opt out of their contracts, of 0.78%. Both were better than consensus estimates of analysts polled by Visible Alpha. 
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.60, and free cash flow was $5.1 billion. Both were also better than expected. However, revenue slipped less than 1% to $30.2 billion, short of forecasts.
The postpaid phone adds helped boost sales at the company's Mobility segment by 1.7% to $21.05 billion. That was partially offset by an 11.8% drop to $4.61 billion in the Business Wireline unit, which has been struggling as companies pull back on legacy voice and data services.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Stankey said the results show AT&T's strength in converged 5G and fiber connectivity. "Despite severe weather and a work stoppage in the Southeast, this is our 19th straight quarter of adding more than 200,000 new AT&T Fiber customers," Stankey added.
The company reiterated its full-year guidance of adjusted EPS of $2.15 to $2.25.
AT&T shares rose nearly 3% in recent trading and have added roughly 30% of their value in 2024.

Reps Give Rivers Sole Administrator 48-Hour Ultimatum Over N24bn CCTV Budget
The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Rivers State has given the state’s Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd), 48 hours to submit a detailed breakdown of allocations in the proposed 2025 budget, including a controversial N24 billion for CCTV installation at the Government House.
The directive was issued by committee chairman and House Majority Leader, Rep. Julius Ihonvbere (APC, Edo), during a budget defence session in Abuja.
Ihonvbere raised concerns over several items in the N1.48 trillion budget. He questioned the N24 billion CCTV allocation, N30 billion for gunboats, and N23 billion set aside as contingency reserves.
He also criticised the absence of the legally required Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and queried the use of state funds for federal projects without a refund agreement.
“We need additional details for those allocations. We request details of Internally Generated Revenue in the last three months to weigh it against the budget deficit,” Ihonvbere said. “We also need details of transfers to local governments — how those funds are being managed.”
He insisted the documents must be submitted within 48 hours, stressing the committee’s commitment to accountability and protecting the interests of all Rivers residents. Ihonvbere also praised President Bola Tinubu for restoring peace between the state’s Executive and Legislature.
Responding, Ibas — represented by Senior Special Assistant Andrew Nweke — said many budget items were inherited. He defended the g¥nboat allocation as support for security agencies, and the contingency fund as necessary to tackle flooding and emergencies.
On the CCTV project, Nweke said, “The office of the Governor is that of honour,” stressing the need for modern surveillance.
He assured the lawmakers that all requested documents would be submitted promptly.
