Referee apologises for missing handball, instantly becomes meme
Being a referee can't be an easy job.
If you do it absolutely perfect, the best reaction you're probably going to get is mild indifference. But if you make a mistake, you'd better believe people are going to pick you up on it.
Oh, and if you acknowledge the mistake you may end up drawing even more attention to yourself.

The man vehemently apologising in the video above is Bobby Madley. He refereed the Premier League match between Everton and Newcastle on Tuesday night, during which he apparently missed a handball decision and didn't give a penalty.
