Now that we know what you do in your scenarios, what would you do in my scenarios? If it makes it any easier let's say it is me who is the referee. What would you recommend me do? (in my scenarios, let's not change it so that i would avoid getting there)
In your scenarios
1) don't blow the whistle for full time until the team has kicked off. By blowing as the ball hits the back of the net you've created a problem for yourself. Assuming you've not done that, then as you've blown the final whistle and there is no penalty you have to award the incorrect goal and suck it up.
2) if you are in a credible position you stick with your decision. If not you should be looking for help from your AR before signalling. If you've clearly briefed your AR prior to the game on your expectations and they've gone against you, you should run over to them and clearly let them know they are going to need to have surgery to remove the flag once your finished with them. Either way it's the end of the game as you've blown the whistle and there is no VAR protocol in play to help you.
Both of these hypothetical situtations would be easily avoided by adopting a safe refereeing approach and briefing your assistants accordingly.
Both situations you've screwed up and if you were being observed I'm sure would be classed as major development points and you'd be marked accordingly based on the level.
