It's an alternative solution, but it's not necessarily fairer. Most people don't want a year's work decided by the ability to score a few penalties or not. Most want it decided on the pitch. They tried the Golden Goal, then complained when it was used. They tried the Silver Goal, then complained when it was used. Most people complain how unlucky they are to lose on penalties.
As it stands, the home side has half an hour extra with their home crowd and pitch to win it, the away side has half an hour to get an away goal. It is currently, the fairest option available.
