He's doing himself no favours by lying. The punishment would probably be more lenient if he held his hands up, said he bit him and it was wrong, heat of the moment etc.

Tackling and challenges are part of the game. It's a known quantity. It's accepted that in the course of events players are going to attempt to take the ball from each other with their feet, and sometimes that is going to be a bit on the reckless side and punished accordingly.
Where is biting supposed to fit into the rules?
I seriously question what punishment a ban will offer ?
To do it three times in his career, the lads got issues deeper than football that's for sure. Banning him won't change that behaviour.
Think he was more expecting any big transfer move to fall through to be honest.
Surely Fifa and the FA also have to consider the 100's of potential opponants and their safety from being bitten in all liklihood of it happening again?
First offence, this should not even be considered, but after 3 similar incidences they would be seriously wayward in not thinking about it.
Included in the ban is medical treatment for his career
Am I alone in being perplexed by the outrage?
Biting is bad but no worse than dangerous tackles in my mind. Bad challenges can end careers, bites will leave a bruise at worst. Yes it's undignified, and yes he should get a ban, but I don't see it as worse than other straight red card offences.

What about players who get several red cards a season? Surely they are a liability to players safety as well?

Im sure the ban gets bigger for increased numbers of yellow and red cards rules are in place for this.
If FIFA say 2 years blanket, FA have to follow it - they have the power of that.
He should be banned from the next World Cup imo, that's the only way he's going to feel any kind of remorse.
A general ban is going to hurt Liverpool far more than Luis himself.
