If it's his tenth yellow, he get's a two match ban and one for the red. So he get's a three match ban anyway. Also, he was booked for the offense, so I don't think the FA can take retrospective action.
That was the excuse when comparisons were made between Aaron Lennon's bite and Suarez's anyway. Seen as they were exactly the same and Suarez got ten matches and Lennon got zero. i think a persons character comes into it too when it comes to dishing out punishments, Lennon I don't think has any history for bad behaviour and although Costa is a horrible player who plays on the edge I think that's his first sending off, Suarez though has history for multiple bites and racial assault which I suppose is taking into consideration more...

Costa was last time sent off as a Atletico Madrid player against Viktoria Plzen, for headbutting David Limbersky in the Europa League in December 2012.

There is a slight difference between racial assault and racial abuse. Costa has as much history of biting as Lennon did. Suarez was different, he bit somebody every time he wanted a transfer.

Speaking of bites in football, why do the police not get involved when it occurs? It's physical assault that could end in GBH. If you did it to someone on the street you'd be arrested

Agreed!
It doesn't send out a good vibe to the fans! What a bad role model for others to follow!
By the way: The same could be said about all players who get away far too easy with all their on pitch antics (diving etc).
Ban them all retrospectively I say!

Not intending to defend Costa but when a team clearly sets out to wind up a temperamental opponent as mercilessly as Everton did yesterday, it's unethical behaviour by the offenders as well and a miracle that he lasted on the pitch for 85 minutes. No surprise that Gareth Barry volunteered for main duties in this regard, he has one of the worst disciplinary records in Premiership history.
All this nonsense about "biting" is joyfully sensationalised by the media. If any player seriously wanted to injure another by biting you would see pieces of flesh and torrents of blood flowing from their mouths. Neither Luis, nor Costa or Lennon accomplished this (thankfully!). All that could be seen immediately afterwards was a slight reddening of the skin. Yes of course it needs to be eradicated from the game like all foul play but we are not talking about manic psychopaths here. If Costa had launched into a knee-high tackle and broken Barry's leg, I think that would warrant far greater punishment.
