Always thought that it's a bit unfair that the second leg home team gets the advantaged of extra time at their ground if a draw after 180 mins.
Would it not be fairer to have 15 mins after the first leg if a draw after 90. Then another 15 after the second leg if still tied.

What if it ends 3-0 after extra time?
Is that just ignored for the second leg?
It's the luck of the draw.

I think the opposite. It's an advantage to the away team. They get an extra 30 minutes to score an away goal. The away goal rule should be scrapped if the game goes to Extra time imo

Would the goals from the first extra time count even if there shouldn't have been extra time by the end of the traditional 180?Mon the Hibs.

I think that’s rarely the case anymore and hasn’t been for years. Keep it tight at home in the first leg and don’t concede. Go over for the second leg and suddenly the opposition are having to score multiples if you are finding the net.
The last few seasons in Europe have seen teams scoring away goals I suspect in record numbers. Jonathan Wilson wrote a piece about it a number of months back, trying to provide a tactical analysis as to why.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Imagine the psychological hurdle both teams would have to overcome.
The team who lost, would be under unfair pressure to win in 90 because they knew they had no chance in extra time.
How would the "winning" team approach the last part of the game? etc etc etc.
I agree that the current system isn't perfect, but 2 X 15 would be horrible, imo.
Scrap extra time and go straight to penalties or replay at a neutral venue.
They want the 2 legs to maximise income.

Wilson, if I was reading him right, also linked it to a regression in defensive skills in European competition. The teams who consistently qualified tended to be dominant domestically. As a consequence or maybe rather as precursor they lined up with more positive defences domestically - the attacking full backs and the centre back who would step out, to break down weaker domestic teams who were set up to defend. The consequence was that they maintained their domestic dominance and then ended up in Europe playing against opponents who had similarly fantastic attacking players and similarly attack-minded defenders. I think he had stats to show how the goal rate had increased massively, especially in the latter stages of the tournaments.
Anyways, it has always confused me why no one ever seems to point out that the first thing to do in a first leg at home was not to concede, and why you wouldn’t want to be drawn at home first and while going for a result, ensure you didn’t concede!There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars
