    I'm a huge @bathrugby fan and while they have one of the few first class iPhone apps out of the rugby premiership clubs (Leicester being one of the only others), I can't help but want more from it.

    Personally I think the app could look and work a little nicer but my designer opinions aside, I really wish it had a way to deliver match day updates - I could see this being useful for any sports fan, even if they're at the stadium. Knowing who scored a try at the other end of the pitch isn't always obvious, and instant updates are something an iOS app should be made for.

    With that in mind I've mocked up how I'd love an iOS app to work for my sports team on the day they have a game. Normally, the today tab could show news and updates, but when it's a Saturday an additional 'Matchday' page is shown where the match updates get posted live.

    Check out the full view for a better look. I might expand on this for the hell of it, it's a fun exercise as a fan ;)

    I like it. I love the idea of the real time stats updates for a match too.

    I might have potentially cut some of the grass out to squeeze just a little bit more on there. Think of the cold finger on match day, the less scrolling the better.

    Every sports app should be like this. Intrigued by the realtime stats idea!

    Nice design Hector, loving the grass texture with the notifications, works really well! Shame I'm a Bristol rugby fan :)

    You should really try out the sportsmatemobile Super 15 Rugby app to see how a live updating sports app should be done, its awesome.

    Unfortunately you won't be able to see it live in action as the Super 15 Rugby season finished in August but maybe try out one of their other sports apps (Aussie Rules, Rugby League etc) to really get the idea of the live scoring, I'm surprised it (their live scoring method) hasn't caught on elsewhere.

    Followup to that initial shot (personal project, not client work).

    The grass was way too much for a scrollview and information was way too busy and getting lost. This version keeps the fun of the grass but everything is much clearer and easier to read. Also realised my font sizes were way too small so those are bumped up.

    Pull to refresh was also totally gratuitous - those text updates should just get pushed into the view when they're posted. Or polled - it's only 80 minutes after all.
